Default Attention all V6 owners!!!

there was some trash talk going on about my truck and how small its engine is. it really got me mad. I need one of you here to build up their V6 to beat any hemi or any other V8 truck on the road (well...except the SRT10, Lightning, and SS, or even a tundra 5.7 or 09 Ram R/T). The point is it will give inspiration and courage to me and the rest of us with our pathetic 6 cylinders. I know Derrick is getting closer each time but still no luck. I know that there is at least one of you with the cash and knowledge to achieve this seemingly impossible feat. If you have already started, by all means keep going. Come on, there has to be some millionaires out there with a few extra grand laying around their house to dump into their truck. All of us here cant be that poor.

That is a pretty nice list of performance mods. How much did it all cost you?
Derrick, how about you? Whats the price of the setup you running?

fuel pump made a big difference, injectors as well. I did the fuel mapping to use as much fuel as i can as quick as i can and making sure i get a complete burn. Mainly there just more efficient at high speeds giving me that little more ummmfff to go faster.. The pump and injectors ran me around 600$ the mapping i did myself with my laptop and a program we use at our shop.

I wish I had the money to burn, but I need to get some body work done on mine and replace a bumper. After I get that stuff done I'll look into some other mods.

Man, Screw those haters. Tell em you don't give a S*** how big their junk is! You don't got nothing to prove. I mean sure it'd be nice but after all those mods you will still be the guy with the small engine. So if those "big engine" guys did the exact same mods, they'd own. Just how it is. Like you v6 for how it is. Or just go crazy and buy an SRT... I love SRT10, mmmmmm
