I would check YouTube for dyno videos or use the search function under the 3.7L section to give you an idea!

Depends significantly on the setup.

And, take from those of us who've been there: do not obsess over dyno numbers. Enjoy your car, do what you want to it. You'll usually be disappointed if you worry about what numbers a dyno produces.

Besides, what counts is when you're behind the wheel driving it! That's all that matters.

The 347 in my '68 got some pretty impressive numbers on the dyno. Stroking the 302 and adding a Procharger was my son's idea. I was against it. As for me, my '06 is a daily driver and I'm more concerned about how it drives and mpg. If you want to race it, dyno numbers matter. If you want to drive it, they don't mean a thing.

No, even if you race it (as much as I do), the dyno doesn't matter; what matters is how it kicks *** at the track!

Assuming those "other goodies" (as well as those mufflers) aren't power adders and w/o knowing what SC, I'll take a stab at 380-400 RWHP. Torque can be all over the board.

Pro charger kit with 8 psi, upgraded coil packs, and 60 lb injectors
I would be happy 400 RWHP. HP is very costly
