what kind of blower are you going to put on it? you do know that it'll all have to be custom, right? you can put a bigger cam in it, port and polish the heads and intake, get headers, anything you can do on any other motor can be done on these motors too.

what kind of blower are you planning to use? i want to SC my car but my compression is too high, it wouldn't handle boost too well. there is a company called PF&E that can make headers and a y-pipe for our cars. i don't have a link to them but do a search for PF&E and you should find something. they are pricey though. Pacesetter is working on a set for us...hopefully they will be available around summer time. if you keep an eye out on ebay, you might find an old set of the hooker headers that were made long ago for our cars. also, if you get a set and want them powder coated...i can do powder coating.

If you're still going carb'd, grab a fageol supercharger.. shouldn't need much fabrication =)

One 3000GT turbo won't push a 3.1.. The second 3000GT turbo would be enough, but you'd want to build the engine to wrap higher. Also, you'd want to stay with the MPFI.. blow-through carbs + turbo == bad news

Fageol made a roots-type blower for the 60 degree V6, but from what I understand they're no longer in production, so used would be your only option, nor would it work with MPFI...

So basically.. staying fuel injected, turbo.. carb'd, blower. My $.02
