I have a 1999 chevy camaro. It has a 3.8l V6 engine in it. I couldnt find anyone to do the ls1 swap for me so I decided to get all the hp and torque that I could from my V6. But, how much power can this engine handle before it blows. I plan on getting dual exhuast, cold air intake, headers, pulleys, and a tuner chip. Possibally a camshaft. But, I also read that the more performance parts you add the an engine the shorter the life. So how much hp and torque do you think that this engine can handle? 350hp? or less
and im prolly getting new gears cause mine are wearing. 3.73 probably but idk which ones would get me more torque so im still lookin for those
 
itll hold about 300 horses....3.55's in the rear end would do great...(there was once a time{1950} when 3.55 was the shortest rear end gear availible
