Hey all, i have a '97 bird...with many mods (i.e. headers,3" exhaust etc.) my biggest mod is a 6 lb powerdyne setup .... and now i'm thinking of getting the Super Six package(Heads & Cam) as well..... i think this will put me over the 350 hp (at the crank) range... i have some concerns:
-Can the 3.8 motor handle that much? I'll be replacing the rods, but can the pistons handle that much? Can anyhting else go in the motor with that much power?
-Can my T5 tranny handle that much power??
those are my main concerns....like i said i plan on getting new pushrods to strengthen the motor up, but i want to make sure that a piston won't crack under that much power...just kinda paranoid... even though it comes with the territory, i still would like to have an idea of what can handle the 350+ hp...
any feedback would be much appreciated...
thanks
