so the stocker is good for around 325 hp and 400 ft lb of tq. ..the ms3 will be a little higher I assume???
I don't know, but I think I'm number 2 on stock motor?
What is your car running in the 1/4 mile?
What are you guys limited to on the stocker?
based on personal experience and what ive seen on this site. I would stay around 300whp for safety. If I was to go over this hp level it would be with an extremely safe tune and meth injection.
If your motor blows, a new stock motor is not cheap and an upgraded motor is even more expensive. And you can pretty much expect your head to take damage if your rods go.
We're at about 330AWHP and it's been running fine for a long time.
Let's just say we are ready for when it blows and then it's all or nothing with that car... I guess it's more of seeing just how far you can push it.
You can buy a Speed3 motor here... 4k miles, perfect.
Under $1700 shipped my guess once bidding ends. If i had the extra cash to spend on a motor, I'd be highest bidder. Hell, I'd pay $2500. Its $10,XXX or so from Mazda,can't remember. ONE member got his replaced under warranty..
