theres a phrase i always like to refer to when poeple ask about boost

THERES NO REPLACMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT!!!

do a motor swap... that will be the most beneficial and a better building block to start from... and most power increase

id suggest a 360 stroked to a 408 or a 426 hell even a 318 would be better then that damn V6!

and obvioulsy if you cant do such a job... you could always do an exhaust and intake of some sorts... and maybe a programmer if they make it for the 6's..not sure if they do

There is nothing wrong with boost. I have a turbo Hayabusa and love it. When it come to cars and boost I have never got into that but I would say that doin a swap for a V-8 360 would be a world of difference over that V-6.

I agree with ya. Boost is a bit pricey.
