nice man i got a good look at that car when it was in the pits. how much of a pita was the oil scavenge system for that? makes me want one real real bad. what psi were those runs done on? > [@bigfoot!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bigfoot/53298/32): > > 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/first-gen-nsx/267577)._
