11psi is perfectly fine on stock 3.8 WITH PROPER TUNE !!
rwhp with the 11psi tuner kit from procharger with 42lb injectors,MAF,SCT chip from www.velocitymustangperformance.com along with duals and MAC H-pipe can be in the 290 rwhp range
with ported heads,1.8adj rollers,215/230 RPM cam,Ported intakes,lighter 9.5:1 ross pistons and I beam rods the 3.8 can be close to 350RWHP @11psi
Justin Starkey from velocity mustang is running 14-17lbs with a turbo kit on a stock internal 3.8. he is at 450rwhp @17psi and 100 octane the key is a proper tune
with forged H-beams,forged pistons,main and head studs and nitrided crank the 3.8 can handle 25psi no problem

what are you putting down to the ground, Cobra
what are you putting down to the ground, Cobra
i'm still trying to save enough money to put my new combo together
should be around 400rwhp @20psi from the procharger.
i was at 278rwhp on a mostly stock singleport with the 11psi kit when i lost compression in #6
completely stock with the 11psi charger i was at 226rwhp and 267ftlbs

he wont touch 11psi specially with stock compression and internals. also he would need to get an MSD box or engine managment system to have the spark retard he needs to accomplish good power numbers. id say more like 8 psi. i have no clue what the stock compression is on the 3.8L v6's still 350hp is aiming high.

Wow, this is old school engine management. A MSD box is no longer needed on distributorless engines. All the spark retard you'll need can be done with a SCT tuner.

Well, I had to laugh at this one guys.
This kid that is a poser around my town has a fake roush. He is buyin a S/C kit for it and has put about 8000 into all of it including intake, tires, rims, etc.
So I have some questions for you v6 guys:
1) he thinks he will run 11 psi (he has stock internals)
2) now at 11 psi he estimates 350 hp at the wheels..this right?
i have some comments too...he cnat run 11 without forging the internals right? the v6 engine cant be stronger than the gt's.
so say, he ran a safer 9 psi...what would that put his power output to? (ati procharger with a TB, side exhaust, and a few other MINOR things).
thanks guys! just want to get my facts straight before I start making fun of him because he told me he'll be runnin mid 11's all day...LMAO

11's in the 1/4 is going to need fully ported heads,intakes, 11psi procharger dialed in for 18-20 psi 42's-60's with MAF and chip along with a cam with about 240dur @.050" lift and .560" valve lift,MAC offroad H with full 2.5"duals with at least 3.73's with an auburn LSD and TA perf girdle.
also forged 9.5:1 ross pistons eagle I's or H's with a top and bottom stud kit with main girdle and posibly o-ring heads
i'm shootin for high 12's with my new combo which is milder than what i just listed

11 psi will only add like 80-120 hp?
why can the v6's handle more than the gt's?

and you can run 11PSI on the stock v6 internals but you need an aftercooler.
and just to open a can-of-worms the truth is the Essex v6 has a stronger block than the Modular v8.
