Ok guys, we are trying to finish this motor up and there are a few things here and there that I could use help with. The engine is currently making 425hp and we are looking to make 600whp+. With that in mind, I was wondering who has the most powerful street 3.0 Duratec and what mods? I think they will help us see what the limits are with certain parts on the engine. So far, we have a custom head gasket from SCE, forged pistons, 2 GT30 turbos, SX fuel pump, RC 750cc injectors, ported 3L heads to match 2.5 split port LIM, ST modeo UIM. My next step is to see if the 2.5 fuel rail will provide the sufficient flow needed to support our hp goals. Any help will be apprerciated. Thanks!

I think there was a drag car making over 1000hp. Don't quote me on that tho...

This is for a Noble. The Nobles make about 360whp from the factory. We dont need to make a 1500hp motor since this is for the street/race. Basically, we need to find the limitations of this motor. At how much power will the fuel rail suffer, crank, etc?

He would be the guy I would like to contact but that link to www.cruzracing.com is a dead link. It just goes to some random search result page.

I know the stock crank is good for 1200 hp. Thats when Cruz finally bent his. Stock rods have been shown to be good up to 350+ whp. Nobody has broken one yet on a FI application. As for the limitations of the fuel rail, nobody has maxxed that out either.

I'll say this. The Escape rods can handle 400+whp, with a fair amount of certainty!

Great info guys. Remember, the car is already making 425hp. Since then, we have upgraded the turbos, dropped compression even more, larger injectors, etc. The car made 365whp with 1 bar of boost. Im looking to crank that up to about 20psi. Knowing the stock crank can handle 1200hp is very reassuring. Now, we will see the limits of the rods. Do you guys know who makes aftermarket rods for the 3.0?
