Question Please help........Thank you.

maybe, maybe not, but if anybody has any helpful info on V-6's (bolt-ons, numbers, ideas, whatever) that would be appreciated. Or, if you think I should just keep looking for a V-8, say so. I'm a V-8 guy myself, but I'm just satisfying a curiosity. If you have any suggestions of what to do with an LS1 or LT1, again, that would be appreciated too.

I'd keep looking for a V8, because if you get a V6, you could have spent a little more money and had a V8. LT1 cars are pretty cheap these days, and LS1 cars can be found for just a little more. The $$ spent to make a V6 faster would be better spent on a V8 IMO.

by the time you mod a v6, you still wont be going as fast as a stock v8 car.
