Well, Rico made 330 rwhp on a mild cam and exhaust with the 3.8L and low boost. I was standing there when it dyno'd in Dallas. I've had a few 4.2L go well into the 400 hp range with the M112 on top.

Remember, the V6P crowd also claimed the M112 V6 would never even happen back when we started trying.

 

I don't care much for v6p... Every time I post something there I NEVER get a decent answer to my question, if anyone replies at all

Matt, when you say low boost, how much you talkin?

 

I strictly went over there asking questions about internals and detailed things no one here seemed to know the answer to, other than that I use V6P for classifieds. which I can't even use anyway, I only have 6 friggin posts there.

 

****, my setup will be almost dead on to rico's (slightly bigger cam, and im an auto), but im going to run 10lbs over 7. should be interesting.



Matt- dammit! Did the ladies not want to touch something slimey? I told you to be careful!!

 

same kinda crap answers i use to get...

 

every single person there is against the m112 for some reason, just cuz I don't want to go centrifugal or twin turbo does NOT mean I don't know what I'm talking about, in one year I've gone from never opening the hood of a car to knowing EXACTLY how to tear apart an engine and rebuild it. This is all through personal experience and DIY back yard mechanics. I may not be a certified mechanic, But I sure as hell know what I'm doing. these people are talking to me like I've never seen an engine cuz I want to use positive displacement instead of centrifugal! I've built friggin hotrods forged with small blocks a tunnel ram and supercharged, I'm a complete fan of roots blowers and I just don't want to travel far from what I'm comfortable with. I cruise with a bunch of middle aged men with 30's hotrods, I take this mustang to rod runs, sorry I don't fit in with what you think a built V6 is, but I'm going to do what I want. If I want a blower sticking out of my hood so-be-it, thats exactly what I'm going to do, guarantee I'll win awards at shows too with the rims I have and the paint job I'm working on. Haters gonna hate I guess....

Thanks, I'll be here all week.

 

haha woahpony, youre a funny dude!

so on ricos car, he didnt do the heads or intake? i was planning on doing both before going with an m112 plus a probably mild-wildish cam..... got me thinking

 

I thought rico had a ported lower? And he had one of the best setups power wise with those mods I've seen.

 

Rico had a 25%UDP, stock blower/pulley, MAC's, 2.5" exhaust, and a 207/212 cam, iirc

 

haha yeah, todays been the first day in two months that I've had both school and work off so I had a couple beers last night and a captains with coke and went on a little bit of a rant
