How would it not change for going from a V6 to a V8 (basicaly a GT). I asked my insurance (AAA) and they told me if I was to turn in my 6 and get a GT my insurance would just because more power = a greater chance of you using that power and getting into a accident. I could be wrong (wouldnt be the first time) but it makes sense.

Tell me that's a typo. How did he get 4.6L of displacement out of a 3.8? There isn't enough cylinder to bore and stroke.

.060 over! I'm suprised a machine shop was willing to do that, there is hardly any cylinder wall left. What pistons are you using?
