Not trying to be a buzzkill here but to get 400whp you're gonna need a built block among other things...

Leedeth, you paid over $500 for someone to replace the spark plugs on your Firebird. What on earth makes you think you can do all this stuff to a Tiburon, let alone do it well?

Okay now you're just being a troll. It's obvious you're not doing this.

You have too high standards for people who does not love attention?

Save me a hella lot of money

Hey guys, this thread is for all the F/I tibs out there. It's meant for newbies who would like to add some boost to their engine. Here are a few facts.

V6
-Our cranks are factory forged and can hold up to 400whp, same with our rods
-Our pistons are slightly weaker, they can only hold up to 300whp and after that it gets iffy
-Our auto trannys can handle 400whp (80% sure on that)
-Manual..i wouldn't really suggest pushing the engine to 4500rpm with 9lbs of boost unless you have a stage 4 clutch
-I herd the max PSI that our engines can handle with I/H/E was about on an assassin system 5-7 lbs, 7 is pushing it. But i herd it was done.


I have no info on the I4's but if any of you out there did boost your 4 banger please update the thread!!

Oh, and the people with F/I i would really appreciate it if you guys put down your stats, for example,
-S/C kit, Turbo kit
-PSI
-Internal upgrades
-ECU reflash?
-CAMS!
-And most of all $$ that it took!

Dyno graphs would seriously be appreciated!
