how much power can i squeze out of a 3.8?

 

190hp.

 

Better question, how deep are your pockets?
Enough money, then your answer is more power than any street car will ever need.

 

I'd say around 850-900hp, depending on your budget. My budget only allows for around 750hp, so I'll settle for that when the time is right.

 

And some of our pockets aren't nearly as deep, my budget allows for about 160rwhp lol

 

how much will it cost me for somewhere around 350 rwhp?

 

It all depends on what you do. If you just build the engine but nothing else you could prob do it for 4-5K. But the stock diff and tranny prob wont last long with that much power.

 

^ does building the engine include adding f/i?

 

Depends on how you describe building the engine. Some describe it has taking it apart, cleaning, put back together then add what mods they want from there. Others describe it as putting forged internals and all that in the engine. If you do that route then you prob wont be able to afford a F/I system for 4-5K.

 

depends. if you are stock, you will need to upgrade your exhaust. the rear will take it, but youll never hook up, so youll need a posi and gears. also, if you are manual, youll want a shifter and clutch.

otherwise, you could do 350rwhp with a cam, and a SC. or turbo. or 200shot.
