How much HP can you get on a 2000-2004 V6?

We know they come with 190 HP stock. Without changing the engine or Supercharging it, im talking about basic mods cause I don't know if I should put more money into my V6 to make her more powerful and faster or I should just sell it and buy a GT

Without boosting, your not gonna make a ton of power....

Headers, UDP, gears, cold air intake, catback exhaust, ported and polished heads, ported and polished upper intake, ported and polished lower intake, bigger camshaft, and your pretty much out of mods.


With boost you can run down into the 9s with enough money.

If you take the money you'd spend on bolt on parts and instead just by a blower, you'll be faster for the amount you'd spend.

True that I wish I had started that way. You won't get much power from bolt ons away.

Well I only saw one in the 9's on V6power but I figured there could be one or two more out there. And the top ten list ends in the 12's right, so theres only a few people in the 10's over there.

buy the GT if that is an option. You will thank yourself down the road. (when you realize its easy to say you are going to supercharge, and then to actually do it, and then you will need a lot of engine work to support it, and to get it where you want to go)

really though. If you have the option of buying a GT, do it. There is no mistake that they are much more powerful, if that is what your looking for. No offense to anybody, he said he has the option of getting a GT.
