My old ride (VP V6 sdn), after some (heaps of) mods (but no turbo/super) had a pretty surprising 470RWHP Dyno proven. Has anybody else heard of a similar figure on any other VP's, or should i not have given the beast up???

There's just one small problem I have with that. 470rwhp/ 3.8L = 124ish horsies per litre of displacement at the wheels. By comparison a V8 supercar makes around 125ish horsies per litre AT THE FLYWHEEL. Even if your 6 was a 4.3 stroker it'd still have a better power/displacement than the supercar. It'd definitely be the most powerful buick V6 I'd ever heard of and I'm damned curious to hear how you did it. I'm sure most veteran engine builders would be curious as well.

So in short, no I've never heard of an naturally aspirated V6 with that kinda power, that's stroked/supercharged V8 territory really.

lol, would love to see a v6 with 470hp even at the fly, formula holden v6s had 340hp and i think that was at the fly, so 470, unless it was a seriously whacked out dyno, has gotta be a load of wollop.

til i see dyno sheets, what you had done to it, im not even going to give this thread another thought.

You know, it occurs to me that 4 is right above the 1 on the keypad, maybe that's the problem? 170rwhp is quite respectable for an N/A V6 with a few mods.
