At 55 MPH with five people and full of luggage it delivers 28.8 MPG. Including road courses, drag strips, auto crosses, highway and city driving my MPG is 18.2 with over 470 RWHP. When we are finished with the exhaust refinements at CORSA we expect to be in the 485 RWHP range and maybe as much as 490.
There is no reason the same % range of performance gains cannot be delivered with FI a 300 HP six cylinder.

I may have lost you along the way in your post. But are you trying to say that you think you will get the same power out of a FI 3.6 V6 as a FI 6.2 V8?
I would love to see that. When you say % gains i am hoping you mean like if the V6 can go from 270 WHP to 350 WHP that is 30% WHP improvement. Then the V8 would also get about 30% which would take it from 390 WHP to 507 WHP.
Yes that is the same % gain but it means a LOT more HP for the V8 which weighs only like 100 lbs more then the V6. So my point is that even if a boosted tuned V6 can gain 80 RWHP with a supercharger or turbo setup, it would still only give it like 80 RWHP bringing it about 30-40 HP short of a stock SS.
Im not saying you can't do amazing things with a V6 and probably THIS v6 but it simply isn't worth putting 8 grand into the V6 to come up 30 RWHP short of an SS when you could have had the SS for maybe 6 grand over the V6
