    How much HP can a 3.0 take?

    I'm planning on a turbo 3.0 and I'd like to know what a stock motor can be expected to handle?

    What are the best mods for building a turbo 3.0 motor?

    I'm going to nickname it the hand grenade...So yes I'm planning on pushing it past the limit...

    I'm thinking a mitsu 20g which should be good for 400hp @ 20psi to start...

    not sure the limits but interested also. The pistons would be the weak link stock

    I've personally seen 12 psi of boost pressurizing our stock motors. But that was with a moderate tune.

    keep the timing stock and lots of octane and have the fuel pump etc and I think its way up there. As long as you are not detonating.
