Default Turbo charger

I have a buddy who thinks that if I put in a turbocharger that I can add about 90+HP to my v6 mustang. What do you guys think?

yeah yea depends...he's right sometimes, but honestly, you can get LOTS of horsepower outa our lil V6's...400 hp easy with a built engine 2 grand, and a supercharger/turbo... it's just that it costs alot and people don't stick with them because they just buy the V8 cheaper... but it's about the same cost just alot more effort, but to me effort is most of the fun..... this guy J he posted once on here and he's on a couple other forums has a TT in his V6 and had it installed for I think 6-7 grand and is puttin out well over 600 from what I heard...but thats just a rumor...

point being...easy hp = V8.... Harder/more fun hp = V6....

I 100% agree BUT......


What does that say about us GT guys who modify?

You see, what you say is logical, but we are all hippocrits.

what i think would be nifty is an alloy block v6... with a SC or turbo...
it would be so much lighter than a v8 and haul some major ***!

a friend of mine down the road has a v6 with a supercharger (i cant remember what kind but i think it was vortech, do they make chargers for the 6?). anyway, i pull bus lengths ahead anyday.
