    v6 - v8

    was wondering if i should stick with my v6 and put a supercharger in it plus some other mods or purchase a V8 and try to take that route, any suggestions?

    The V8 for sure brother...

    Having the six... I can't really do that much as If i had the Z28.. So i would go with the Z28.

    I would look for a wrecked complete car cheap- you will get so aggrevated with the "damn, this part doesn't match" - MUCH easier to strip one car and transform the good one than to buy bits and pieces and try to make it all work. Easier to get complete wire harness w/ computer, exhaust, everything you could possibly need with a donor/parts car. You should be able to find a wrecked whole car somewhere and your insurance won't know about the V8 so, cheaper There are mods to do the six: long tube headers, borla and flowmaster actually make six cyl. cat backs, hypertech power programmer brags to give 10HP/21Foot pounds of torque, nitrous(I wouldn't push more than a 50-75 shot though). You can get the six to push 15's in the quarter with some work, maybe even high 14's but you'd do that with a stock V8. Tough call. As cramped in the engine bay as my LT1 is(yeah, I still float the six section occasionally), I would kind of be tempted to try the six route but I've already done the 8. It's snappy and fun but a monster to work on.
