upgrade entire engine, or go forced induction?
Hey I'm wondering if I should spend my money on building the motor on my v6, or just save my money and get forced induction?

Adding two cylinders would be a good start.

 I had a SIM V6 once.....then i upgraded to the 2SS/RS. Best decision I made. Plus their is more in the V8 market than the V6.....just saying. But to each his own. So do what u want.

If you are going to FI your V6 then you are going to have to upgrade the engine internals anyways.

Go FI. If you wanna stick to modding a six, go ahead. That's what I'm doing.
Don't worry about number of cylinders

Do you want power? OR Do you want sound? You can get power out of the 6, but you cant get that V8 sound. Which im craving

Go FI with one of the new turbo or centrifugal superchargers, they add a lot of power to the V6

Its hard not to be biased since I've had both a 2011 V6 and now a 2011 V8. I still lean toward the V8. But since I'm a team player, if I had to choose, get some Twin Turbos.

Well I would of waited and gotten v8, but since I've already put 5k into my v6, I might as well keep it and mod the crap out of it.

Wow havent seen that many "get a v8" comments in awhile. He was asking opinions on how to mod his car. Not if he should get a new one... Personally I'm just trying to get as many of the mods as i can and stay na. I'd like to see how fun it can be that way. And then if im still not satisfied i could contemplate fi later. I enjoy taking the time to have fun with my car and mod along the way so theres something always exciting around the corner!

That's what I was leaning a little towards. I have a few mods that I can get very soon, definatly the cams as soon as they are on the market.

I plan on getting the cams and ported intake manifold over the summer when I have more money. Trifecta, drop springs, and sways are next for me as soon as I get my tax return back. Already got cai, headers, and exhaust. Honestly if you are doing all that I think you'll enjoy the car so much you wont be too concerned with FI. If not, well its always as option down the road!
