I think the best numbers I saw posted for a HiPo with 2.8 were around 300/300. I don't race or anything. I just like having the X and driving the car.
Talk to the O.G. X guys like Rygen, Afixer, Torchvert and others. They know all the ins and outs of the X.
Call Dave at Explorer Express and talk to him about the X too. He's a really really good guy and can answer all your questions.
I got my X on a group buy that saved me something like $400.
They're going for $4.4k right now.

Cool...thanks for the info. I don't think the X is for me. Those seem like small numbers for something that costs the same as a Vortec S/C and a Powerhouse Turbo. I understand the 'X' would end up being cheaper, because I could probably do the install myself....but for that kind of cash I'd be kidding myself if I said I'd never go to the track. When I got this car I didn't plan on doing any of the things I've done/have plans for. I'm not trying to top those with 11s or 10s cars, but I know I'd like to go out o the track on occasion. The Vortech was out of the question for me until I read up on the V-3. I doubt I'm getting a turbo because tapping my oil pan makes me leary...the V-3 is self contained just like the 'X', and as far as I know it makes more power AND comes WITH an intercooler. I read it can also be tuned to produce lots of low end torque like the 'X', is that correct? Are there any turbo kits that are self contained and don't need to tap into the oil pan? Also, the way I plan to do my build is to get most of my other mods first. I know I can't use a CAI with any of the F/I choices we have, but can I reuse headers and keep a 'true dual' exhaust? I planned on getting a prochamber mid-pipe, long tube headers and reusing my stock cats if possible. Any feedback would be appreciated.
