3sge rebuild expectation Options

[3WayStunna]

Hey all, I plan on rebuilding a 3sge engine and im going the whole nine yards....itb's, strokin it, balanced and blu-printed..etc...anywho, i honestly have never, worked on an engine to this extent, (in other words i dont know what im doin), but im hopin that in the process i do learn alittle somn, while at the same time, get somethin out of this.....but thats not my point......if i had an infinite budget, and keepin things, on an all-motor perspective, about how much hp gains could i expect from this?...Ive read, of the beams engine, and several other 3rd gen n/a 3sge's puttin up numbers in the 250's and up, when built correctly, so about how much do yall think i would be able to attain.....please flame all yall want, im still gonna do this, regardless of what anyone says.....im just lookin from some positive input.....

well although the 3SGTE parts can just bolt up to a 3SGE, they are not the same. They have different internals and different compression ratios. If you turbo a 3SGE running at 6psi of boost will have higher compression than a 3SGTE running 6psi of boost becuase the 3SGE was not made to be turbo, so the stock compression was made higher to help compensate.
