#3 will require some computer repgramming as well as some serious
modifications to the V6 intake manifold. Stick with #1 and just cleanup the
intake manifold (smooth out the runners).

187,000 miles on it. I don't want to swap in a V8, so I am going to fix up
the V6 in it. Probably the first thing I will do is to upgrade the intake
somehow. I've looked thought the archives and tried to figure out my
options-

existing TB. I'm not sure if I would get the significant power gains I am
looking for...

have done it. Some people complain that the larger TB, though gaining in
HP, has actually hurt the torque or low end figures. I don't want to lose
any torque I already have since this is what gets most of the work done.

and same modified intake as #2 - I've seen the four barrel TB's advertised
for the Magnum V8's. I'm thinking that since the four barrel would be
running on two barrels most of the time, I would keep more of the wonderful
gas mileage and low end torque, but still benefit from four barrels when I
need to most (passing, accelerating). I've only met a couple people who
have used these on their V8's, but they can't say enough good things about
them.

practical.

this yet. Any thougts on this. It's be great to hear some feedback on this
one...
