    Default v6 enhancing and engine sound

    hi i currently have a v6 3.8L vs engine and im looking to get around 200 kw off the flywheel, but i cant just do it the easy way by useing a set of turbos or a supercharger? i'v hered of performance chips and using extractors and porting and polishing heads but is there something else that i can do to it? and im also looking to get a nice note out of the exaust not something that sounds like a cat getting strangled?

    Wow, 200 fwkw....optimistic without forced induction. It can be done, but not without throwing a bucket load of money at it. It would be cheaper to supercharge it.

    All the usual extractors etc, then throw in a massive cam and some head work etc. Even if you don't quite get to 200kw it will sound good trying
