Question

What is with you guys building fast V6s? Is it to say you run XX in the 1/4 with a V6 or what? I was thinking of doing a 3.8 turbo buick in my parts car as a goof, but I know I'd end up dumping money into it with a larger turbo, exhaust, injectors, pump, etc.. so someone needs to motivate me!

(I'd do it as a huge joke when I can tell the mustang guys it's a V6. My big block iroc already smacks the muskrats around)

I like the 3d Gen Camaro body and have worked with the BuickV6's for enough time to know it's reliable.. quiet.. good on gas and can make decent power.
I've already been down the small block path in the past. *408sbc on 150shot went 10.50's/60's* Louder.. 8mpg no driveability.. no thanks.

I'm working with LS1's now (turbo obviously) So I'll let you know how that works out on the AWD Typhoon we are putting it in.
