CAI, exhaust, and high octane should equal that, plus throw in some LTs...

I haven't gone through this entire thread, but is there any information about an increase in torque for the new V6? I think it would need an increase there rather than in horsepower. A V6 with around 325 fl/lbs would sure be sweet.

I'm very interested in this engine also. Is it a "New Engine" or a revamp of the current one?

Thanks

Yeah, to a whopping 280 ft/lbs. Disappoint.

If there was an increase to 325 HP, I'd hope the TQ would climb closer to 300 as well...otherwise I see no real performance increase happening.

...but honestly nothing has been confirmed on this engine. It seems like its all just heresay at this point

You're close... the words you really meant were:

Yeah, but in countries like Brasil they are torching thousands and thousands of acres of Rainforest to make room to plant sugar cane to make fuel from.

Not only are they exterminating actual species of animals by deforesting their habitats (unlike the barren moonscape that is ANWR), but they are getting rid of the rainforests by BURNING them... (converting them into carbon that goes directly into the atmosphere and making more of those sad looking Polar bears sitting on icebergs, while Algore makes millions from his "green" investments in those countries)

The real kicker comes when you discover that the sugar cane fields only convert a FRACTION of the CO2 in their air into O2 when compared to a rainforest of the same area, so they never reclaim the CO2 that was generated by razing the forests to plant sugar!

Brilliant!

We're hooked on cheap EVERYTHING.

Guess what... nearly everything we own these days is made from some byproduct of that black stuff that oozes out of the ground. Your clothes, your car, your roads, your house, your phone, your chair, etc. are all made from petroleum based polymers.

I certainly think we have a ways to go before we can make these things from corn and sugar.

"Plant baby plant?"

Nah.

You know the real answer is obvious!

323 hp @6800 --> Win
278 lb-ft @4800, WTF? --> Disappoint
So in a nutshell this is a beefed up version of the 3.0 --> Disappoint
Integrated exhaust manifolds. So much for shorty's, long tubes, etc. --> Disappoint

I'll gladly keep my LLT.

I would of waited just because of the e85. There are tunes out there right now for e85 that are pushing crazy numbers! Imagine that with the current LLT. Its a dissapointment that we only have one tuner and barely pushing out any hp/tq numbers. Now I am dissapointed and regretful that I didnt know about this when I got my v6 in january.

Except it has integrated exhaust manifolds, which means no aftermarket headers. Just ask the 3.0 boys in Australia. That is one reason I'm glad I got the LLT. Though it would make turbo setups easier.
