I just like most camaro fans with reason would add a cold air etc. to the camaro in general but.. what is the top HP max out on a v6 with after market gear? any ideas?

Huh? I'm assuming you mean without having to open up the motor and build it.

Well the V6 tranny apparently can only handle in the mid 400s level Hp and TQ so I'd say that is your max off the bat.

I got mine up to 430hp with 5psi, with a higher boost 8psi should get around 500-510 max.

what is this a video game? "max" HP depends on how much $$$ you're willing to dump into it.

the "max" hp in my truck is stock 295 + ~10 from my air intake (purchased more for highway mileage gains), because i don't care to dump a lot of money into a 6800 lb beast to make it "fast"

its all relative man, "max" for you could be an intake, exhaust and tune, or it could be a twin turbo setup

LMFAO! The mustang video is hilarious. Sounds like such a high pitched rice burner. Lol. The video has obviously been played in fast forward but still, very entertaining. I burst out laughing.
