Why Can't...?
No no how come we can't make a 1000 hp out of our 3.8 liter v6's? I'm not knocking the 6, i love my car, but i'm just wondering why little 3.0 liter inline 6cyl supra motors can make 1000 hp? and all i hear about from our stang 6's is 300 maybe 400 hp. I just don't get it, is it just that no one has taken the time to build a high...high horse supra slaying sixer? or is it that its not possible(i hope not). what can the essex block take anyway? cuz i'd really like to keep my v6 but if its not worth it or if its too difficult (and expensive) to make big power then i may just get a 4.6 motor after all. i dunno guys help me out. i know about tmaturbo and all that and id really love to turbocharge or twin turbo my car. anyone done that here? lemme know what you guys think.

RE: Why Can't...?
I think partically ..it is a matter of what the internal parts will take. The 3.8 might make 1000 hp for about 3 seconds then the explosion would light up the night sky for miles around.

RE: Why Can't...?
i remember seeing something on this a while ago, but im thinking it was matthockey who roteit so its most likely BS, it would probaly be possible if you do a crap load of work you could probably get it as crank HP

RE: Why Can't...?
matthockey...isn't he the only one that has a 1000 hp street legal V6?
|
RE: Why Can't...?
272hp to the wheels, with an intake and duals
|
RE: Why Can't...?
Dang!..must be some kind of special intake and duals.....[X(]

You and I need to build a boat to catch the boat with all the money on it we keep missing....think 1000 hp would do it?
Yes in theory it could be done for about 3 seconds and I'd want to be in a bunker. |

Ferrari, I think it was, had a 1000 HP 4 banger in the 60's. I saw a 4 banger Talon putting down 1000 hp, so anything is possible.
