You know, I honestly think buying a 1LS V6 and getting a $6000 to $7000 turbo or supercharger installed is a better option than paying $9000 more for a V8. It's obviously putting power down at acceptable levels. They seem to be reliable going off other members' setups too...
Idk, I'll probably get flamed but I'm just sayin...

Point is the V6 has just as much potential as the V8. It may not achieve the same absolute power levels, but it can be made to run as fast or faster than the V8 dyno queens on this site. Is it ignorance, bias or both???

OP doesn't want to void warranty, so how does he beat a turbo V6 with out voiding the warranty?

OK BOYS N GIRLS
Original question is how does OP beat a turbo'd V6 and maintain his warranty. Thats it...there is no other ifs or buts. But of course it goes off topic and a V6 vs V8 war emerges once again. Answer is that it is doubtful he can beat the turbo'd V6 without doing a mod that has more potential of voiding the warranty than say intake and exhaust. Sure he could do other small mods to help, or go outside the box and do weight savings which would help. Thats the answer....period. As for where this topic has ventured into. Everyone with half a brain knows the V8 has more/easier potential to go faster. What we also know (whether some people here choose to accept it) is that by spending 6 to 7K on FI for a V6, you can have a V6 that runs with fairly modded V8s for LESS cost.

Get in front. Stay in front.
I beat a friend's Challenger with my brother's base model Vega in High School, back in the 70s. I would not let him by me. Boy, was my friend pissed. Chased me a with a machete in a Pizza Hut parking lot (the destination) while I laughed at him in front of our other friends. Ah... Stupid youth.
