3.8 Stock bottom end 500 hp????

Gosh Jerry , wish I had you around some of my 3.8’s as I could blow them apart as look at them. Guess you are good luck. Lol

Ray, if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any kind of luck at all.

I have blown up a few head gaskets and engines during my learning curve, and am passing those lessons on locally. 500 FWHP is a lot easier on a car that hasn't been butchered than on a car that someone hacked up.

Definitely log your fuel trims up and down hills ... normal driving...
Fuel trims, fuel trims

Keep the timing low and let the boost do its thing ... don’t worry about the horsepower number.


Knowing your car and having lots hours/days in the seat CAN help you more than the hp number.
