Look into a new, fully ported upper and lower maniforld, new cylinder heads and a custom cam. you can add about 80 horses with these upgrades and it'll cost ya around 2,400 $ from supersixmotorsports.com. Add new headers, x-pipe and cats, new CAI, and new gears in the rear differential. get it tuned at a local shop and you could have around 330 HP compared to 190 p stock.
Whoa! Ricer math. Uh, 330 is really high. The 80 or 90 HP SSM claims is on their supercharged car. You'll probably get somewhere like 45-60ish with heads, cam, and intake. Which would put you at 235-255 CRANK horsepower, 200 rwhp give or take a bit. Then that last sentence will add like 10 hp, so you'll have 210rwhp, not 330.
well you can get 260-290rwhp out of the V6 with the right cam and max ported heads and intakes but why? all you have done is make a highrpm screamer that isn't real streetfriendly

a nice build and a poweradder is far better. if they ever come out with heads based on the SVO 4.5L ports then you will really see some big numbers NA. even a mild build with a 4.5L SVO will get 300rwhp NA and a max effort build with max cubes of 315" will get 650hp NA . even ported singleport heads equal most good 5.0 aftermarket heads

Yeah, that would work. I was talking still having it as a daily driver.
