Supersix is probably the best 'out of the box' solution for V6's. As you can see they are not cheap. If you don't have the time to spend building up your own engine or don't have many of the basic tools you will need, It will probably cost you as much to build it (considering time itself is money) as it is to buy one prebuilt. At least with prebuilt there is a warranty.

Do you plan on sticking NA or going with a turbo, S/C, or adding nitrous?

yeh that description (and the associated cost) is telling you you'll have a solid foundation to basically do anything you ever wanted to do including serious boost on s/c. if you go with this engine basically something else will break before it does

What's the core that cost $350?
