these are going to make huge HP when tuned by the aftermarket. More displacement, bigger turbos. It's just a matter of cracking in there.
Agree that there should be a lot of potential from tuning. From the C&D article:
Though increasing in size from 3.0 to 3.6 liters and with maximum boost rising from 18.6 to 26.1 psi, the new engine's power only increases by five ponies—from 473 to 478. And peak torque rises not at all from 420 pound-feet. The culprit is Lambda 1—engine designers' shorthand for a perfectly balanced ratio of fuel and air—used at all engine operating points. With no rich mixture available during high boost, combustion temperatures rise to a point where ignition timing must be dramatically retarded to control detonation. The upside is less smog emission at full power.
The engines have been intentionally neutered for emissions purposes. In theory, an ECU flash with complete disregard for pollution should result in a massive increase in powahhh.
In reality, I'd expect that the factory tune is more than enough for street usage.
