somethings just cant be replaced ... good times...

Im suprised no one has commented on this. Its very interesting. Of course I would never buy the V6 if there was an optional V8, but at least they have came up with an option for the V6 people, for whatever reason they got the V6 in the first place. Gas mileage is about the same reguardless what motor you get. Maybe cheaper insurance, maybe bought the car just for looks/image but now change their mind and want to go fast.

But reaching well over 300hp, it will be right up there with the V8 model. You also got to think what advantages the V6 could have at that point being the gear ratios could be longer given they run 5speed auto and not 6speed. But there is also not as many things you can do with the V6 compared to the V8 with HPTuners. But hey, at least it can be modified. With HPTuners you could get close to 300hp without even adding a single modification to the vehicle. But of course, it would help.

With HPTuners you can keep up with stock 05/06 GTOs on the GT.

I have no doubt that HPTuners would allow the V6 to gain a lot more performance.. and handle a s/c too.

The LY7 is naturally detuned from the factory...GM has put that motor in other cars, and that same motor puts out more HP. Its kinda weird. But i was reading on G8Board.com that just by simply putting a CAI and retuning the motor and tranny you can easily gain between 20-30 HP depending on what exactly you do to it.

Thats actually goin to be my next project...There are some guys in the Phoenix area on another board im on that can engineer and fabricate a CAI for my V6. As there are very few of them, and the ones there are....are VERY expensive....Then im also goin to see about a tune.

Any ideas as far as the tune though?

You Know what though... FOr the amount of money you would spend on everything you may as well have bought the supercharged GT and had more options. Well you may spend a little bit more but when you could go through trannies and w/e else you could have done. But I could be wrong.

you should just go ahead and make your own CAI then. Several people here have made homemade ones themselves.
