why not spend 3grand and rebuild the engine then throw a couple turbos on it making 18PSI?
theres your 600rwhp car for you. for 23k+3K+8k+2k tuning/install
36k
aren't you forgetting the built transmission, upgraded suspension, and built rear end? Those things aren't free. Hell, they aren't even cheap. Throw another 5k on for those which puts you at 41k. For the headache, downtime, all the work and bs, I'd throw another 4k on that fire and start with a shelby.
This is internet car building math, get out of here with your common sense.

Any engine can handle boost
Also you can use bigger snails which move more air at equal to less boost than smaller ones, which means youll make more power and stress the motor less, but a bigger turbo may not suit the powerband youre looking for.
Don't forget that the V6 cars are running the GT drivetrain. I bet it'd handle way more than you think. The drivetrain anyway, lol.

The question is how much.
Id imagine it could do 5-7psi non intercooled and up to 11-13 intercooled. The more boost you run the less timing you can run to keep your rods in one piece, and the more fuel and octane you need to keep the pistons from melting.
Of course with race gas or e85 and a more than competent fuel system you can go pretty far.

I think I remember reading it has a fairly high compression ratio from the factory. Something to think about.
the 5.0 cant even handle boost, so what makes you think the v6 can?
oh wait

The automatics aren't running GT drive train. The V-6 has a 6R60 and the GT has a 6R80.
