What's about the max power you can get with l32 safely

[504Quan]

I want to begin modding to about 300 whp just for starters don't wanna go turbo I really enjoy the whine lol and I'd rather turbo a v8 rwd car I want to get somewhere around 400 ish horsepower and still be a DD that I can trust on the highway

You would have to do a max effort build to make 400hp, and still probably fall short.

got 7 grand laying around? then you can maybe have that.

[504Quan]

Depends if that 7k includes the3k tep trans ??

-400 whp

[ItHurtz]

Wants to know max power, but limits himself off the bat to 350, scroll on folks scroll on!

[Scottydoggs]

no, its 4 grand for a super built tep and a turbo for the rest lol

Chasing numbers will cost you . Better to build a build and see what you got. 3800 has been around for quite some time, there are plenty of road maps out there that will tell you approx. where you'll e with what mods lol. Not much guess work left and no hidden treasures.

If you do it right, you can get a reliable ~400 horsepower to the wheels for around $8k.

The trans is the main factor to reliability.
Ported heads
Headers
Cam and install parts
Blower Porting and pulley drop
fuel injectors
Tune
Intake
Colder Plugs
etc.

Or just do half of that and go to a dynojet and get some "bragging numbers".
