They were probably asking about how boost was changed like if we had a lower pulley we could swap out to as a piggyback or if we used the pulley bridge too or what the max boost is that we could see on pump gas without detonation or what our IAT's are without a heat exchanger or how much boost we could get out of it before needing water/meth or how much power a stock motor could handle.
Ya know, things that are easy for them but take a little more finess on our part or parts we just dont use.
Thats what I get asked anyways when I start talking about how we make power, or they just ignore that I said V6 at all....
Heck, the guy I am talking to over in Tulsa about swapping his 10th ani-Cobra wheels and $2500 for my no-mile Mach 1 engine swap for his 96' GT is a great guy to talk to, but pretty much could care less when I start talking about why I play with V6's.
We can talk 4V's all day but as soon as I bring up the ol' 3.8 mule the convo goes dead.

I hear that. People have ten thousand questions about my white car until they realize it's "missing" two spark plugs. The other reason they'll talk to me is to try and punch holes in the V6 'power' idea.

Well my Sunday involves me diggin my mustang out of the snow and calling AAA to get it towed back to my town cuz I'm sick and tired of having it sit around all day at my ex-girlfriends house while I have all the parts to fix it in my living room...

how the BOV works with ours, why we cant run the heat exchanger, size of my lower pulley, if theres any way i can use his cog setup, how many lbs boost, what parts i can use, and why we have to use the lightning MAF but cant use the cobra one.
ya nkow, its the same thing with my white car...
also, discovered the SC valve covers i bought are usable on my car. FUUU

Haha,
Bypass works the same on ours as it does on theirs.
We don't have a huge valley between our heads since it's not and OHC motor. No room for the HE, and no real need (dispite what all the haters say).
Stock crank pulley is 7".
Cog would only work if you ran a cog drive pulley on the crank - would have to custom make one.
Boost depends on who's boxed upper you use and pulley combo. Most start at 6-7psi.
We can use everything from the airfilter to the blower and the Cobra injectors.
I used the Cobra MAF on mine just fine. ???
