Well it has to be a daily driver that is still comfortable to drive but can gun it wen I want it to

Everyone tells me n/a motors are not strong enough to run high enough boost for it to be worth it I have already spent 10k on my car so I don't want to change to another one and aparently changing everything over to a v8 costs even more then l67 does. I'm not sure if I'd go a v8 I'm off my p plates as of today so that was more why I was staying a v6 what do u need to do to convert to a v8 and what cost and power can u expect from it?

I think you will find dozens of examples on this forum and others where the std ecotechs are running blowers and turbo's with no dramas at all. As a daily driver I couldn't see it as a problem.

In itself??? nope. It entirely depends on your selection of components. I think the consensus is that most v6 strokers are not a cost effective upgrade. What sorts of boost are you looking at?

A well modded L67 is going to have serious traction issues as it is. For a saving of $10000+ the power would be usable on stock capacity. Stroker would be nice though
