Whats the biggest #'s

Whats the biggest hp #'s without turbo or no2. Just curious to know. On a built but not blown or sprayed 3.8 ii motor. Everyone says this or that. But does anyone know for sure. What kind of hp can you get outta a motor that dsnt have a supercharger or turbo or no2 setup.

271 is what lance's at abbotts put out at one point until he changed his stall converter and gears. Pretty much top dog for NA power on the dyno. But remember stalls, gears, etc all play a part in dyno numbers too. a lower hp car can beat out a higher hp car depending on the other items and the setup. All a high dyno # shows is that you have a dyno queen.

track times are what matter ;)

also remember that not everyone who mods these engines posts online or posts their results. Some like to be secretive of their setups

I believe the most for our motors N/A is under 300RWHP.

The firebird from ARH has head/intake/ and cam and is at 271 RWHP.

I'm pretty sure other members with more experience can go into more detail, but staying N/A you're probably looking at numbers under 300.
