Like Justin said, I know Andrew destroyed his, Lance did too, Path did I think... off the top of my head, I know Malice still has one and TH does.. I believe they're using g-force parts though. May be mistaken, this is all off the top of my head.

I sure hope you're including the price of the car at least...


and have fun having the same setup as 84750724569427858934658370672064574 other v8s in the 10s.... that same old crap is boring. Too easy.

there is minimal to no aftermarket for the 3.4...the 3.8s even have toys then can get...but there is nothing but a cam for the 3.4...so to make that car go fast it takes a lot of knowledge and the perfect combination of tolerences...kasey is right...making a v8 go fast id one thing...but the v6s we run...is a whole nother monster

there are plenty of fast V6 powered cars out there and no reason to believen this couldn't be the foundation of another one. if you prefer V8's, good for you. V6's have been proven to perform enough times that i can't see any need to trivialize these efforts either.

they are being trivialized because he wants to build a "fast" v6 and stay on a budget, and he has changed his mind more times in the last week than wayfast.....first its twin turbo and nitrous now its na, and now his main goal is to pull wheels.....

if you just wanna pull wheels buy my car, it does it on a bone stock motor.
