How can you possibly get so little out of a 3.8L? 🙁

the 3.8 is pretty torquey... although it has ~140 HP, it produces like 225 ft/lbs of torque.


2000 ffv taurus se (3.0 v6)
160 hp/ 190 tq
 
280hp/285 lb-ft (1995 Lincoln Mark VIII)

147hp/150 lb-ft (1987 Porsche 924S)

95hp/90 lb-ft (1976 Porsche 914 2.0)

2003 Ram 1500 - 5.7L, 345hp, 375ft.-lbs. at the flywheel - actually getting to the ground, less; but we're still debating what a good run is so I'm not posting exact numbers. 😀

1970 Challenger - 440 ci, stock rating 390hp, 490ft.-lbs. - again, many arguements about over/underrating the engines of the muscle car era so until it get's dyno'd, unknown really.
 
175hp, 2000 Grand Am GT, 3.4L engine. Not bad for what it is, but certainly no rocket.

My lease is up in May and I'm wondering what to get...
 
1990 Stage III+ Nissan 300ZX Last dyno 325/370 should be around 370/420 right now...added UD pulley, downpipes, lightened flywheel.
1989 Nissan Sentra ...no clue
