One thing for sure though I am keeping power mods minimal and am going to let others do the experimenting. Really makes me wish they had used an H6 for this car. oh well.  |
Hopefully they will release an H6 version to bring in the V6 genesis prospect buyers?
300whp NA on the 3.6 should not be that difficult. Maybe they could even come out with a 3.0 or 3.2 H6 for weight savings and just run high comp and D4S like in this engine?
250whp will be attainable in NA form...but at that point street driving will be a pain as well as reliability. I mean, crazy 300+ cams, 10k+ redline with a reworked head to allow power to be made past the 7400rpm redline, titanium valves, better valve springs, shaved crankshaft, bore and stroke kit, etc...But then again the little 4ag in the AE-86 was used in formula cars back in the day and they produced 275whp NA...with less displacement!
Don't forget though...a 250whp NA car will always beat a 250whp turbo car if they are identical in weight as well as tires, suspension, etc.
