You probably could do this without a super or turbocharger, just a lot of people don't know about it.Heads from supersix motorsports have been dyno'd giving 40rwhp gains=45flywheel hp that'll cost $2k plus a few hundread for install. Plus 30hp from a cai/tuner combo(SCT/an any tunable CAI is good)u could get for $600, probably less. That'd put u at 285hp flywheel. You can get about 10hp from an axle-back(high flow muffler) maybe JBA, Flowmaster, orMRT for $200 and u can put that on urself. That's 295hp there. So, about $3.2-$3.5k for 295HP! Pretty good and a lot more reliable than forced induction. If u want more:
-UDP-8rwhp $300 including new belt-installs easy
-Gears don't give hp, but make u rev quicker and a bit quicker-$200 install $200 but it's suggested to have a t-lok installed with them to have power to both rear wheels.add another $300. 4.10's would make u a half second quicker(=+25hp) if u don't have traction problems and 3.73's half of 4.10's.
-Lightweight Driveshaft-10rwhp and 30lbs off of car-$400 +$50-$100 for install.
-Dyno Tune-$200 for about 10-15hp after u've done a lo of mods
-Could have added a cam to theheads for another $600-$900 a couple hundreadfor install and that should be good for at least 25hp.
-U'll probably have traction issues after this so u might want to invest in good tires and/or suspension mods. Rear Lower Control Arms are suggested-$200 install another $100-$200.
Good Luck!

A recent post form VMP tuning showed 210RWHP and 247RWTQ from a power package they offer. CAI, tune, and a GT take-off muffler. Thats probably ~240ish at the flywheel. You would really like that. Cheack out the VMP website for more info.

RE: '07 V6 hp increase
Yeh, I no that's a lot of stuff u can do to ur car, the 4.0's have lot's of potential. A few people supercharged on here have dyno's that would put them over 500hp flywheel. But if u want a ton of power, I'd suggest stage 2+heads and cam, forged internals, and intercooledturbocharger. That would run about $7-$7.6kw/o install and could get u around 600hp+ if u run around 14psi and that would be a monster of a drag car, easily 10 second car. Good Luck!

Not sure if anyone has done them, but if ur doing heads u might as well spend the extra $250 for 20cfm/16cfm exhaustmore and you'll also get stainless steel valves. I am thinking stage 3 heads for me with their cam and that should net me at least 65hp for $3k which would put me over 300hp with my mods now and that would make me happy! b/c then I can easily take gt's with my 4.10's, t-lok, control arms, and aluminum driveshaft!
