So far I've done the following: - Rebuilt Motor, Copper Race Gaskets & All Seals. - Wade 992a Cam & Custom Grind Shaft & Pushrods. - Heads, Ported & Polished. - 40thou Oversized Rings & ACL Race Pistons. - C.O.M.E Racing Twin Throttles w/ Custom Intake Manifold. - 30lb Bosch Red Top Injectors. - 1.7 Yella Terra Rockers & Lunati Lifters. - 2500 TCI High Stall w/ Stage 2 Shift Kitted Box. - Lukey Extractors. Keeping the motor N/A what else can I do for powergains? Is there a better build of a Buick v6? I've also heard the Wade 1114a cam is good with this build but has reliability issues...

Done V8's before. Wanna see how much power I can make off an n/a 6. . Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You would make more gain with a turbo

N/A is much more rewarding when you destroy charged cars on the street.

Yeah i suppose

Realistically how much power are you going to make with an N/A Buick V6 while remaining streetable?

They done it in sc mag it didn't make much so they went to a turbo

My mechanic says I should make close to 220kw at the fly. With a YT charger running on about 6 psi should push 300??

supercharge it i know a few that have supercharged a buick v6 and gotten over 300kwat the fly

I thought you said you did not want forced induction

I don't. Just getting figures.

You need compression and revs... 12:1-13:1ish and bulk revs otherwise your pissing into a tsunami of bolt on gen 3's driving away from you.

So I started the motor finaly. Untuned its very lumpy, running extremely rich. Getting it tuned next week...

There's a good build on one of these somewhere on CT....I'll find it. ---------- Post added 14-09-11 at 17:27 ---------- Try here: http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showth...light=VP+turbo (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=153870&highlight=VP+turbo)

Personally I'd be gutted if I spend thousands of dollars on a engine that only made 200kw, but each to their own

My best mate has a vk Calais. He spent 70gs on he's drive line N/A. Just a 383 strikers standard block. Only made 342rwk but made 1200nm of torque. The thing hammers hard...

I believe what NZ is saying is more so a figure of speech... Follow the Buick Grand National path..

Sorry how much torque do you think your 3.8 N/A will make? $70k should buy you a 1000rwkw twin turbo LSx with more torque than you know what to do with Cool if you want to do things the hard/expensive way to prove a point, but like I said above personally I don't see the point
