There was a guy on our "old" forum with a Vortech on a V6 that made around 275 to the tires.

I'm not trying to sound like an asshole or anything, but honestly you'd be better off selling it and buying a V8 car if you're trying to make it perform better. For the money you'd spend getting it up to stock V8 power you could sell it, buy a V8 car, and put a little into basic bolt-ons. Just my $0.02.

the v6 mustang enthusiast's 2 best friends.

I've done a supercoupe swap on my old 95 sixxer. I ended up with 277 rwhp and 318 rwtq through a set of home ported heads and blower, custom cam, roller rockers, long tubes, and a J-Modded AODE.

After adding a 75 shot (for intake cooling purposes ) I dyno'd @ 335 rwhp and 375 rwtq. I do not know if I still have the dyno sheets, but the car was a blast to drive (for the little time I owned it afterwards) and put more than one heavy chevy to shame, along w/some mustangs and chargers/magnums.

Being that you're split port (as opposed to single port 94-95's) you have MANY options that were not open to me. I was into my engine and tranny set up for around 1500.00 not counting tuning. ALOT of people will tell you that the 7.5 rear is junk. Mine held up fine, but I will say it was already built when I got the car. It had a set of Ford Racing 3:73's, install kit and rear end girdle.

This time, I'm just going to swap in a v8. For around the same price, I'll have similar results with MUCH more potential.

In summary it's all in what you want to do.
