    Rebuild Options For 50-75 More Horsepower?

    Thanks. No matter how I come at the problem of the low-power 3.7, the answer is always the same: You can't get there from here!

    Rebuild Options For 50-75 More Horsepower?

    If there was a clean, reliable, professional, complete Turbo solution I'd love to hear about it! Altitude is one of three problems. 1) It was only 210 HP to begin with, 2) 210K miles, 3) Altitude here. So, I'd probably want to run it at about 40 inches (about 20 PSI Absolute) if that was safe...

    My 16.5' 40 HP boat weights 1,640 lb total on the trailer. (Yes, I weighed it) I depart Cedar City, Utah at 5,500' altitude, drive over a summit at 10,600' and down to the lake at 8,300'. That's 7,400' vertical feet of climbing for each round trip, winding up and down canyon roads. The 210...

    Rebuild Options For 50-75 More Horsepower?

    I need more power! 3.7L with 210K miles, but we live and drive at high altitude. Pulling my little boat over the Utah mountains isn't working. How can I get another 50 or 75 ponies? If this were a V-8 I'd rebuild it and get some better heads, a little bit of cam and make it flow. But, who...
