Default Honda 3.5 V6 Performance Upgrade

Can someone suggest the best way to get 300 hp @ 5200 rpm with this engine? We need a lot of torque around 3800 - 4000 rpm as well. This is for an off road vehicle. N/A only. Heads, cams? Big bore?

It is a 2012 V6 made in Ohio, I think it comes in the Odyssey. 245 standard hp. I know people who are simply dropping in an Acura cam to get the hp up to 285.

Not many options for that, maybe a custom header, custom intake. I dont know about anyone else,but i do offer cam options, you can pm me for more info.

There are limited options for the v6 honda motors right now, i'm working on changing that though.

285~300whp, has come from the TL-S motors. Higher compression, better head and cams then the Odyssey.
Bascially a stock TL-S is around 235whp. With all the right exhaust components and improve intake guys have gottent to the 280whp mark with simple bolts ons.
Intake manifold changes, throttle body changes and piston changes have gotten them the rest.
Also all this is typcially done on the stock ECU.

Import Performance Parts has several upgrade kits for the J35 consisting of high compression forged pistons, cams, etc.

Porting and polishing the heads should help as well.

Acurazine website will help you considerably. Look in the 2004-2008 TL section to see what works best. These motors respond nicely to exhaust modifications. I recently read a thread about a 300whp TL-typeS which has the factory 286hp J35 motor.

I read about this car also. I believe he is still running the stock ECU.

Can I get dyno data for these engines? I am looking at a J35A4 with multi-port exhaust.
