Haha seriously...no one is more realistic when it comes to performance expectations than someone who drives a 3.7. It is what it is...a 210 HP V6 with late 90's technology. Adding 20% HP would be pretty remarkable with bolt ons, and then you'd only be talking 250 at the crank. 250HP and some 4.XX gears might be interesting.

It's just not a powerhouse engine. But it has other merits.

Anyways who wants to be added to the list so we can get some more parts out for the 3.7L. I will be glad to do before and after dynos for the headers and I will gladly by the first set if they are ever made.

I'm very interested. But how much are they going to cost? That will heavily influence my level of interest. Results too. One prototype with results would probably sell a few more. (hint...)

Also, I think this shows why there aren't more 3.7L upgrades. Not trying to harp on it, I drive one. Alot of vehicles use the 3.7L, but alot of people that do, don't care about performance upgrades (Jeep Liberty soccer moms?).

It's too bad. V6's can be beasts. Look at Nissan's. You can build a pretty solid 4.3 L Chevy Vortec with 5.3L parts. No love for us...

Im interested

Cool cool. If interest is all they need, I have plenty of that

Show me the dyno print! Show me +25 ft-lb below 3,000 RPM!

Also, just out of curiosity, how many 3.7L guys have the 6 speed as well? (me)
