I know most people don't mod thier V6's. But for those of us who can't afford V8 insurrance, share your accomplishments.

Haters. If you truly don't believe the stuff I post then why combat it? If I'm just lying then whats the big deal? I wasn't bragging, merley posting about the topic.

I deleted my mod list cause I can see that it will only start drama.

Come to Boca Raton, FL and call 561-674-2238. I'll be waiting.

Not that im calling you out or anything, but i highly doubt that... 3.88 Gears? Fuel Inj. To match T/B? Shorty Headers do nothing, cherry bombs suck IMO. 330-340 Hp with almost no mods... haha Kiddies. Wheres some SOLID proof of this?

^Well I'm only 17...in Florida...so having a V8 basically doubles my insurance.

I run somewhere around 330 - 340 hp. Need to get on a Dyno since I did a few things to it over the holidays.

I have a BBK 80mm Throttle body w/ the fuel injectors to match, BBK cold-air intake kit, a superchip ECU , I got a port and polish and a I've done a little (way more than a little) of my own tuning. I also had a set of 3:88 gears installed in the rear. As for the exhaust I have a custom pair of shorty equal length headers, Magnaflow Hi-Flow Cats and Thrush glasspack mufflers. It's not a real good ride if your lookin for comfort but it sure as hell will throw you in the back of your seat.

And soon to come, a 3/4 race cam, supercharger or turbo (twin?) and an alluminum driveshaft.

P.S. I know it may seem hard to believe that my little 3.8L can keep up with the big bad 2007 GT's...but I've done Dyno tests and run it frequently on the quarter. If you want proof, come race me.
I was willing to give the benifit of the doubt, but not now. Your mod list would list would not get you anyplace near 300 hp, unless you forgot to mention the 150 shot of nitrous. Please don't try and BS people here. Have you ever had the car on a dyno or are you just guesstimating you hp?

well we call it like we see it some of us have been modding for awhile and know what it takes to get to certain HP. and you dont even have a splitport vehicle unless you swapped. so its not dramam that will start its those who know the truth that will show up and tell you like it is. dont guess what you have dyno it and prove it. either way i know with the mods you had listed you are not that high your saying you are right up there with the 01 (non-supercharged) cobras and its just not going to happen with those mods.
