Honestly I have no idea lol.. I started this project thinking ahh i jsut want to beat a GT.. Then i was like you know what.. I dont want any competition lol.. If everything goes as planned I will be doing the turbo.. Prior to the turbo if I am not mistaken I should have in the area of 365hp.. that is going based on taking manufacturer hp numbers for all the mods and taking the lowest numbers they provide.. So it came out around 365hp.. plus i have a 75 shot of nitrous going in so that will boost me to around 440... my entire goal for this setup is to get above 500 which with the turbo wont be a problem since the engine will be built to handle the power.. i could probably even go higher to to over 600hp but i am thinking i will be happy with just the nitrous for a while lol.. the most hp i have ever driven as far as cars go was my 2003 CTS which had like 240 or 260 in a heavy cadillac... i mean my truck has 345 but thats a truck.. so this should be fun...
Uhh, no way buddy. You're not making 365rwhp on an NA v6 built for a turbo. Just not happening.
j/k man... I'd say 240ishrwhp n/a with a fully built 4.3 w/low compression. That's being generous.
Like I said.. I was just going based on what the manfucturers say their product gives then subtract a few and calculate that way.. for example if they say an intake gives 10-15 i add in 7hp... I dont know about 240hp with all the mods.. i am definately going to do a before and after dyno but if i recall SSM correctly the numbers they give are dyno proven so the power pak they say gives 90hp and the shortblock they claim 30-40hp... then figure in:
- ASP Underdrive Pulley
- Exhaust
- MAC Long Tube Headers
- Throttle Body
- Intake Spacer
- Custom Tune
But all in good time.. once I get the dyno done we will see what kind of numbers i am looking at.. also i dont recall saying its was going to be 365rwhp...
It's def. worth the upgrade, I got one just so I could put 4.3 badges on my car lol. What compression ratio are you going with? check this out for real estimation of RWHP numbers http://www.v6power.net/dyno/na.php

any where do you get 240? I just was talking with SSM and their 4.3l "long rod" stroker which is basically what I am getting is rated at 280-390 naturally aspirated depending on the tune.. thats not including any other mods.. so not sure where you got 240 from.. unless i am missing something..
