Is that the best everyone can do?! Someone somewhere must know the specs. Anybody have a Chiltons? I myself have been looking for this info, and like everything else with our cars, is like finding a needle in a hay stack :( . If i find anything, I'll post.

No way. The 3.3 only makes 185 lb-ft of torque.

the only motors i know of that make peak HP at 3k rpm is diesels. its peak power is right around 5k. and teh compression ratio is 9:1 looking at my old owners manual it says it in there.
