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.....

True, you can only run low boost on the stock 3rd gen 3SGE due to the 10.5:1 comp ratio - hense the reason I mentioned the stock turbo pistons. Nearly everything else internally is the same between the 3SGE and 3SGTE motors. There are a few minor differences, but nothing that hinders the 3SGE's performance.
