boost seems to be the only way to beat these motors into producing some tangible power.

Still not sold on the turbo kit. It's pricey, and frankly the location of the turbo concerns me for a daily driver all-weather car like mine is. Unless there's ice on the roads I'm takin it. Flooding.. snowing.. my car is the ups man of vehicles... and I think the turbo's location is a little concerning for that, and a number of other reasons.

Was looking at the TVS2300 stage 1. about $6500 plus install (probably $2k to install..).. a heavy pill to swallow since it has to be done all at once, but n/a these motors can't seem to do it without sacrificing something.
Can't really compare numbers from a stalled L99 A6 to an LS3 M6. Rockit's running 11's with the link you posted. An M6 with identical mods would be lucky go break 12.3.

My cam + bolt-ons that dynoed 424 ran 11.6. It'll take an M6 460+ to keep up with me.
