Ive easily put 330 rwhp and 400 rwtq out of a 3.8 on only 7 psi and no tuning, THey have quite a bit potential. It was a custom T70 kit I built, bone stock motor.
I expect near 350 rwhp at the same boost level once its tuned and has the fuel it needs. near 400 rwhp at 10 psi.
With a smaller to4E 57 trim another car still made 295 rwhp and 360 rwtq at 7 psi and wwas on its way over 350 rwhp and 420+ tq before locked up the injectors, stock tuning/motor.
Things will get interesting now that HP tuners suports the v6s opened up alot of possiblities, soon it will be easy to reach 400 rw

thats cool. Hows the turbo 4th gen V6 compare to a ls1 as far as performance? It would be interesting if they brought back the firebird and offered a turbo v6. Although ill take a LSx any day.
Cal Hartline down in Florida (Hartline Performance) has a daily driven 8 second Grand National with a T88 on it. He runs 36 lbs of boost at the track on C16. A T76 on a GN engine with a proper setup can get you into the nines.
