Mitsubishi generally makes SOHC which we all know isn't perfect for performance. The only DOHC V6 motor they made was in the old Mitsubishi Diamantes and Mitsubishi 3000gt. It was a DOHC 3.0 Liter that was designed to compete with the toyota supra, 300zx, Rx7 etc...they made the twin turbo version of that DOHC V6 that put out 320 hp. However, till this day...the highest horsepower while reliable 3000gt twin turbo sits at 650-700 awhp. Not great...the Evo's 4G63 has been in the states for 3 years and ams has already squeezed 926 awhp out of a 2.3 stroker.

Nonetheless, I would not be surprised to see a few running 40+ psi in drag applications in a few years.

If you google DOHC, MIVEC, V6 you'll come across all the others, even a rare 1.6L V6.
However, till this day...the highest horsepower while reliable 3000gt twin turbo sits at 650-700 awhp.
