Reported? give me a break, honestly.

anyways, 'nuff of that.

bubba, i wish you luck with you're project and while cleaning up, i came across some 3.4 stuff. i have a throttle body with all sensors still and a almost brand new alt. I also have 3 pcms, but they probably wouldnt help u anyways. I figure the TB you could try porting or such. let me know, im askign 15 shipped for the TB and 40 shipped for the Alt, or $50 shipped for the pair.

There are TONS of high power 2.8L based motors around, but none of them are street friendly. Several racing series use that motor as a basis, which is why you can buy an aluminum 2.8L block straight from GM.

This was discussed at length more than once on Cv6 and FTv6.

that was JS's first post here, he did not say u dont have any knowledge. He was stating that there is a 8 sec N/A V6. AND an unlimited budget helps a bit. but, i will say you do not have the engine building knowledge or racing experince that a lifelong racer/builder does, that is obvious reagrdless if its you, or 99.9999% of the people on this board or even the whole internet. hell, a guy with a super comp car knows TONS more than even i do, thats a given. so calm down, relax, and finish your build. And if your goal is to prove the doubters wrong, when you do, you'll have the last laugh and theyll eat their words, but also keep in mind, if you fail, they will all be there to say "we told you so." As long as you beat kasey, i'll die laughing at him.

[bubba428]

[GP99GT]

i didnt really do a lot of work...still gonna be stock cam, ported stock heads, factory ford intake...stock suspension street tires

[bubba428]

[Blacdout96]

what he means by stock heads is their ported, but their not like aluminum edelbrocks, their still off an explorer.

[bubba428]

[GP99GT]

no...ported E7 heads...ports are the same so its not really a matter of matching it

[Mike]

i dont hate on any of the v6 projects, but when you admit your shooting for low 14s, it just dosent make sence........

seems like a lot of work to still be slower than the truck that tows my car to the track.
