ok so i have an 06' v6 stang 5spd, right now all i have is cai and true dual exhaust, i was thinking about just putting in a v8 because i could spend alot of money and boost my v6 but i would get more horsepower out of a v8 cause well i could boost that too, no replacement for displacement! i didnt have a choice on the car if i did i would have gotten a v8 in the first place but any input or help would be much appretiated
v8 swap?

you will have to change so much out of the car it would be better to just buy a gt...
and just so you know, a vortech supercharger kit at 4.4 psi will put you at approx the same hp as a GT of the same year, and you will be faster due to less weight. and thats on an untuned 4.4 psi. you can well up the psi to 9 or get a turbo and be even faster. dont count out the v6 just because its got 2 less cylinders.

with all the stuff you will have to change, you will end up losing money in the long run trying to put a V8 in your car. you should just sell it and get a GT ...........or you can go F/I or boost it and have fun with it too.

+1!!with all the stuff you will have to change, you will end up losing money in the long run trying to put a V8 in your car. you should just sell it and get a GT ...........or you can go F/I or boost it and have fun with it too.
Bawhaha, a 4.4psi vortech:no won't get you anywhere close to a GT, and how in the world do you get 4.4 psi from a vortech?!
i dont know how much hp i want out of it just yet i might just end up keeping the v6, ive seen 440 hp with a stock bottom end, stage 3 heads and cams and a porcharger if i could break into the mid/upper 300s (hp) i would be happy with that,but from what i read ill just build the v6 and later in life get a v8
Mid 300s easy:
cai, long tubes, procharger 11psi kit, exhaust.
or
turbo kit, exhaust.
*of course you need fuel mods and such*
