    If you want raw power your looking at a rebuild or a l67 conversion

    With that sort of cash i would look at rebuilding your motor with a stroker kit and see of you can get a whipple think that would push the 10k mark tho might have to just go a m90

    You could make it fit but you would have limited the lift of your motor to secconds

    well you better increase your budget then, cause each one of those will cost you close to 10k.

    would be a lot better to go out and buy a car with an L67 in it or even an LS engine.

    or you could just go a 5L or Gen 3 5.7L and get some real power?

    spending 10k on a v6 is a heck of alot... especially when it's just the engine.

    buy a V8 for 10, sell the V6 and use that money for something like charging the 8.

    and what about CAM? you can get alot of power just through CAM change.

    yea true but im one of those people that can't afford to have a V8, but modify a V6....i got a couple of mates in the wreakers, i think i could pic up a L67 cheap...stroker kits are bout 4-5 grand and the supercharger can get done in tamworth which will be like 10 k including cams, rockers etc etc ....

    whats the biggest yella terra whipple i can whack onto a V6...i don't care how big or insane... just wanna know...and what power?

    you can pick up l67's pretty cheep. i picked mine up for 1.8K

    ive since put a cooler on it and high ratio rockers and running it at 23psi (max)

    got basically the best shit u can buy coming from the US atm cost me 5.3K for a 8.0:1 completely forged bottom end and extreme cam. keep a look out for BIG-ev on this site.. ill make a page soon

    all i can say i race v8's with cams and still beat em.. with the new blower and engine setup ill take on the hefty v8's.
