[QUOTE="Driver72, post: 9953102, member: 105832"] Sure it can, quite easily and safely handle up to 7 psi. The Shelby GT350 is a boosted 5.0 with no internal changes. And there are 2-3 companies out now with 7 psi boost levels for the 5.0 as is. Good enough for 600+ hp. Unless it's just to be different, why spend the money on the V6 only to drop $5-6k into it to supercharge it (and more to put a twin turbo system on it) when you can get 105-110 hp more on a factory warrantied car by just getting a 5.0? I'd understand the philosophy if the V6 was 200 lbs lighter and it's being done for a handling car, but the V6 is about what 50 lbs lighter. Not enough to make a big difference. Just get a 5.0 and you'd have the power a s/c 3.7 V6 would be putting out. Or just add an intake and tune to the 5.0 to make sure you have enough to out power a s/c 3.7 and you'd still have the wonderful V8 sound. [/QUOTE]
