how much can the 3.8 actually handle?

94v6blkndred · May 23rd, 2007, 02:21 PM

im sure its been talked about many times so im sorry but...i have a 94 v6 and in the distant future i wanna do some major mods..so this is more of a JUST WONDERING question. So if the 3.8 is upgraded to all forged internals, new fuel rails and injectors, SSMS stage 3 power pack, and a decent single or twin turbo set i know id be good. How much can the block really handle? I always hear that its a very hard block to crack so just for information purposes whats the most HP that has been pushed through a 3.8?

Well people are pushing like 400+ horse with the stock block and built internals and turbo and then people are going to the 4.3l stroker with built internals and a race block and are pushing 700+ with snails the size of your head
