there is only one other Ripped stratus that i know of that is putting down over 400whp, and he goes by
the name of rtspeed on the 2gstratus.org forums. He has stage 4 RPW cams and his car is not
streetable. He ran 11.9 at the track with it. The next closest was a guy by the name of K2buk on the
club3g forums. He was putting down 383whp at 18psi. Then there was neil (by the name of npeifer on
the 2gstratus forums). He put down 360whp at somewhere between 15-18psi (not tottaly sure on the psi)
The main thing holding these motors back from high HP numbers include a few things.
1. The stock ecu sucks.
2. The stock front and rear cams arent the same profiles
3. Stock, the rings arent gapped for boost.
4. The MAF isnt meant for forced induction
5. Forged internals
6. Distributor only provides effecient spark up to about 15-17psi.
In stock form, our heads flow surprisingly well! After a port an polish job, new cams and new valves, you'll
have some sweeeeet flowing heads.
Remember, our block is EXACTLY the same as the vr-4 blocks, except without forged internals, and the rings
arent gapped for boost. You can essentially try to do a DOHC swap onto our motors, however there seems
to be a fitment issue with the rear valve cover hitting the firewall. A little fabrication and that can be fixed.
Alot of 3000gt parts fit onto our car. Fuel rails, injectors, cranks, rods, pistons (SOHC), im pretty sure the intake
manifold fits, etc.
http://www.3sxperformance.com is where i have been buying most of the 3000gt parts.
