350 whp BAD!!!!!!

[fallen]

so i have herd a rumor that the ms3 block can only Handel around 350 whp
dose any one no any thing abut this

 

[wisniaPl]

darksun has 360whp with nitro, so it's not true....

I'd imagine you might have some traction issues but I dont see the block failing over 350hp. Where did you hear that?

 

[fallen]

i was told this by a freind who has an 07 ms3 i dont know where he got his info
but ya he told me that if i push over 350 WHP i ran a very high cance of ******* the block up

 

[wisniaPl]

first you have to ran that power.....when you do that you can start to worry about your block

 

[CWPspeed3]

Takes a lot of modding and tuning to run 350whp and if its done properly there shouldnt be an issue but thats something to worry about when you get there. Im hoping to hit the 300whp mark eventually.

Its really not that difficult to see 300 whp , 350 should be fine as a dd with the right tuning

 

[fallen]

well thats good to know that. i got worried when i herd that

Thats why I set that as a goal, I dont want to do a downpipe though which would be the easiest way to get there.

Quick quesiton: Will a Cobb Sri, Corksport downpipe and test pipe give me around 300whp? or will i have to do an accessport as well?

 

[CWPspeed3]

If your doing a downpipe and test pipe why dont you go full turbo back while your at it to make it full 3"? Technically you dont need an AP but it will get a little more out of your car, I dont know what your exact numbers will be though.

Why not do a downpipe?

Depending on what dyno, I would think I/TBE/FMIC/Exhaust Mani/some kind of EMS tuned at 18 psi should get you to 300whp.

Mhhh sounds good.

 

[fallen]

Thats good, get the modding underway!

Seems like everyone that does a DP ends up with smoking issues.

 

[oskinosmee]

I dont have smoking issues at all

eeeeeeeeeeeeer close, a buddy of mine has the corksport fmic, dp and custom downpipe back exhaust, running 18 psi ( i think) and is making just shy of 300whp. No exhaust mani or tune

 

[fallen]

any one in the upper ct lower mass area
there is a shop that dose custom turbo back
and fount mounts

 

[fallen]

they clam a 40 whp gain with the turbo back
