I think Comptech use to make like 400-425 all motor. Stroked and cammed obviously. I only know people SC or Turbo them because its cheaper and easier to do then go the stroke/cammed route. I think they make a little over 300wheel with full bolts and tuned.

Its basically a better Accord/TL v6, so they dont make a ton of power. Being such a light chassis, they are fun. Its on my list too lol

Can you seriously fit in one comfortably? They seem rather small.

i think they actually have a nice flat torque band.
[http://www.evans-tuning.com/dynos/](http://www.evans-tuning.com/dynos/)
edit it looks like those are all f/i setups
go to jeff evans dyno pages and search for c series nsx under engine type. its interesting to see the numbers that all the different cars and setups that he tunes put down.
id love to buy an nsx and probably will some day but stock i think they run like mid 13’s at around 105. not enough for a car like that especially since every fool will try and line up wit you.

I doubt many N/A NSX will put a grin on your face. To make 400whp you would need a stroked and otherwise built motor, high compression, most likely ITB’s. It would be very expensive and possibly impractical. A stock 3.0l makes about 240-250whp on a dyno.
Stock you can expect an NSX to run mid 13’s possibly low 13’s with a couple bolt ons. A common setup many run is the Comptech supercharger. These are very reliable setups between 300 and 350whp. You can expect mid 12’s out of a setup like this. If your goals are beyond that then a turbo would be the way to go IMO. All round better cooling, many with supercharger setups pushing them are always looking for better cooling solutions which are never a problem on my NSX.
At 6psi my setup made ~390whp on morgans dyno, and ~375 on a mustang. The car ran 11.9@120 almost 121 just to give you an idea of what you can expect.

300whp maybe on a very healthy 3.2l engine with a tuned intake and exhaust.
