Hmmm............. I'd like to race him.

Anywho, on a stock sixer you can go up to a 100 rwhp shot safely with a good tune, 150 "MAXIMUM", but you better have somebody that knows what they're doing. Actually the V6 block is very strong, not too sure about the new 4.0L, but the old 3.8L were extremely strong, so you should be just fine with a 100 rwhp shot, but I like to reccommend a 75 rwhp shot, easier on the tranny, rear end, and engine.
