SFC on V6?

I have a 2.8L V6, going to upgrade to a 3.4L V6 or a 305V8....Don't plan on using the car to race.
So the question is, would bolt on SFC's be good enough as I am not a racer? I Just want the car nice and solid for good 0-60 acceleration.

I have SFC on my V6. Made a big difference.
My STB didn’t seem to make a difference.
But the Wonderbar did

I can't speak from experience 'cause I don't have them yet on my car, but I think everyone can appreciate subframe connectors regardless of the powerplant. Even a low-powered car is more fun when the chassis is firmed up.

You're in Sacramento? I'm going to be adding SFCs to my car as well. I'd called the shop that did my exhaust and they said they could probably do it. If you're keeping it a v6, or a low torque v8 application, you could get the Jeg's (or similar) bolt in SFCs, install them yourself, and then have a shop weld them in. That's what I'm looking to do. I just don't know if those Jegster frame times are enough for a 450 HP LT1. If you need a list of shops in Sac., PM me.
