Like everyone stated, it's not a good option.
Spend 3K and get a blower (Vortech, Procharger, X-charger) or a turbo, and you'll have as much or more power than a 2011 V6 for a fraction of the cost.

Obviously you feel that you made a mistake buying the 10 V6! I love mine! When I bought mine I was looking for a cheap, good looking daily driver and that's what I got! Is your manhood in question because you have a V6? I could have bought a GT500 but wanted basic DD( I drive a lot!) I have 21000 miles since November 3rd 2009! NOW to your question, why waste money on a 3.7? Especially when you need an 8.8 rear, 6 speed transmission might as well spend the 5 grand on the 5.0hhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ok I see the light now. it isn't worth it lol I have looked up the blowers and all I have seen is compatible with the 2005-2009 models. I know that the engine is the same in my 2010. However what about space under the hood. Will the blower fit? And wouldn't it cut down the life on my engine due to the additional horsepower? Btw what would I need to do to install the blower?

Not sure about the fitment of the kits, but when you order the kits they come with everything you need. Also, the life of your car depends on how much boost you want and your driving style more importantly, you can easily get to 100,000 miles without any problems.
