Default Whose boosted their V6?

Has anyone tackled this DI V6 yet with some boost? If so post up!! I'm itching to see what this motor will do with some boost. I've only heard of a twin turbo V6 seeing 7psi of boost making 425hp.

"Crickets" tells ya the truth...ain't happenin', contrary to all the "talk"...

Proof? Have you seen a youtube of Leno's "TT"? Looks mighty impressive as a "static display"... At SEMA, he couldn't WAIT to wail on it...and if he has/did, there'd be a video...

The BoschBox is pretty "secure"...

It's a shame really, these motors have alot of Potential IMO. Maybe I'll be the first but I just started another build with a LSX TD I just got.
You know some of those ecotech motors are making some stupid HP, I know in the next 10 years (hopefully 5 years) we'll see some DI heads on our V8's but right now this V6 is all we have to play with. But nobody is playing!!!

It's a real PITA to crack the code on the computer and tune it. The reason you don't see boosted V6's is not from lack of trying. One place either had or thought they had broke the code but it hasn't gotten around. LPE has a supercharger already developed and a place in Michigan has TT set up, but nobody can tune the A/F for boost. It may take a while but you'll start to see they eventually. I agree, I think a boosted LLT has a ton of potential.

I guess a Stand-alone is in order then! It would suck because it would jack the prices up quite a bit but at least to see what this thing can do.

I wonder why GM would do such a thing? FI voids the warranty anyway.

I mean, really. That's not a rhetorical question. One of the best things about the LSx platform is the ability to tune it.
