5-6psi on a S38 with stock ECU will create ~350-375whp. With any tuning will be near 400whp!

Mmmm, thats pretty good.

Well, the skys the limit, or the bottom end. The S38 with anything lower than 9:1 and standalone with proper turbo and I/C will make 500whp+ easy. Its just a matter of how long the engine will hold together.

The Dinan systems with their piggybacks and CR lowering make 450-475whp. Dinan limits the S38 hp by using a undersized turbo. Its the same size/config as the one on my car.

Anything that needs to be done to the head....or better yet with a stock head....
