During the Hot Rod Power Tour I discussed what I had learned from the two dyno runs with a person walking into the Mid America Motorsports facility as follows:
1. Hytech Motorsports DynaJet Dyno 241 HP 224 TQ regular gas 87 octane
2. St. Paul Automotive Mustang Dyno 264 HP 222 TQ preimum gas 92 octane
The person then identified himself as an engineer from GM Performance Division and the results are exactly what we should expect from the 217 CI 3.6L V6.
He then stated with 100 octane gas the engine can produce ~300 HP at the rear wheels or 371-375 HP at the driveshaft. WOW! Why buy a V8?
If you use a higher octance fuel and drive the engine hard you will see more horsepower out of the new 3.6 L.
