Ya i thought about doing that when i had my six but it would require a ton of work and a lot of electrical crap and a new tranny and front and rear suspension as well asexhaust and a new computer. All in all it would take more or equal money to do that than buy a used 03 cobra, plus you get the looks of that 03 cobra.

With a TT 4v set up you will need something a little bit stronger than a stock 8.8 rear...

what would you suggest?

I know youve heard this before but you are better sticking the money into the Cobra/Mach 1 where you already have a stable base. A stock GT block isnt going to hold the power of a twin turbo setup unless you retard the boost dramatically, and run a light tune.

um...what about a stock 6er block...Cause thats what i got. If i had a gt i would procharge it.

I dont know the limitations of the v6s. I hear the blocks are pretty strong but I cant tell you about the drivetrain, trans, and all that other stuff. A twin turbo setup is very expensive and lots of labor.
