98 v6 tma single turbo set up running 9psi supersix stg3 heads and a cam from them. this is just going to be a DD. i am just doing some mods to have the go to smoke the occasional ricer and to pass someone if need be.

[232stang]

id say about 173rwhp

[GreenFaleen]

173??? With the turbo and the heads and cam, guessing you have all the other boltons and stuff i'd say 300-350 maybe not sure on that turbo setup since I have never seen results form one.

[232stang]

my point was its hard to tell what your numbers will be. two exact setups may have different numbers. just get the thing dyno'd.

+1 your not gonna know with a turbo, and a lot depends on your tune as well

[scubasteve041186]

yeah sorry bud no one can tell really it;s based on a tune personally if it;s tuned well you'll get nice and high also depending on which turbo you used. but i would say your past 200 to say the least. the heads and cam should have pushed you close if not past 200 rwhp

[tims3.8stang]

well as for a n/a stage 3 you should be running the same as a gt which is i thoink around 275 280 to the crank to get your na number you take the 190+80 and walla you get 270 i said 275-280 because you will need a dyno tune and will probably be close to 280 at the crank then just divide by.15 and you get your wheel hp so naturally asperated with a stabg 3 power pack you should get around 230 to the wheels

[itschristorres8]

depending on the GT your talking about 275-280 rwhp is only for the 05+ MAYBE im pretty sure its not that high
the 99-04 is about 220-230
the 96-98 is 190 i believe? rwhp #s of course

stage 3 heads and cam n/a is about 95 extra hp on your car if your getting the stage 3 powerpak, that should get you about 300bhp or 240-260 rwhp...a 9psi turbo...i'd say greenfaleen is right..about 350....i'd throw out there 375-400 though. 9psi turbo i think would get you 100hp pretty easy. so rwhp about 350...

[tlgrant]

its about that but your under cuting them a little. my car bone ass stock was 214. before the PI swap and bolt ons an its a 96. the stock 99-04s are like 240 ish and the newer ones im not sure of. dont forget HP aint shit realy, its your tourque you realy want.

[jasperstang308]

it probably won't be all the bolt ons just be most of the topend and then the turbo. all and all i think it would be a pretty fast 6 cyc

yeah it will be quick. I would get exhaust and a beefed up rear end. what model is your car and miles? Cause you might need to beef up the engine a bit.

[Onemanzu]

i love how contradiciting faleen is...

it will be round 350 - green

" you can't determine every set up is different"

+1 your right every set up is different so its hard to tell - green

ha ha it makes me laugh

you gotta remember one mod plus another doesn't = 2 mods... it is more multiplication of mods... at an un explainable exponential rate... based on some odd dirivative of 3x

lol yeah thats why I said not sure those are just numbers I have seen before.

[jasperstang308]

its a 98 v6 and its got 114 or 115. i know about beefing it up to make sure it can handle it. but i just going to rebuild it and make sure it was all in running order. i wouldn't think with the low boost that it would need forged internals.
i mean surely it shouldn't be making more than 250rwhp should it? i am familiar with the 5.0's but the 3.8. and would the rearend seriously have to be built up? they came out with the 7.5 rearends in 84-86 with the 5.0's and my brothers held up and he was hard as hell on it. but i am not trying to spend more money than i have to if thats the case i might just rebuild the motor and continue to work on my 86 notch

[GreenFaleen]

at 9 psi from a turbo you might want to do a little engine work, you should hopefully make about 3-350 and your rear end would be under a lot of stress especially without t-loc.

[itschristorres8]

thats an old car. probably with alot of miles. God bless your internals lol


i wouldnt take them past 350rwhp
you can run like 4psi and see 250rwhp

[jasperstang308]

it will be a rebuilt motor when i put everything on so the motor will have 0 miles. and i could live with it if it only made 250

[itschristorres8]

250 isnt a hard goal at all on boost...i'd say its harder to get it that low then gettting over it

[GreenFaleen]

+1 with a rebuilt engine youd be good. I would def. look into a 8.8 though.

[jasperstang308]

i have already tried it once with this car (the car is currently my gf's) i was going to swap a 8.8 with 4.10's underneath it but the braking system is different from a v6 to a gt and i didn't feel like running all new brake lines at the time
