Hey guys, been a long time since I been back. But I’m looking into the next celi so it’s about that time to get my plans together. I’ve done the 5sfte and loved it, but after losing it, I don’t think it’s a road I want to walk down again. I want some more power…300hp +. So that brings me to one of two options. Nicely worked out 3sgte or mildly boosted v6 or nicely worked out vs. with cams and so on….
What are the advantages and of these three possibilities? I remember a member and his dad was setting up a v6, not sure how it turned out (I’m going to hunt down that thread after I write this) but it was looking very promising. I won’t be doing the work myself, and my mechanic is very good and is willing to make it happen. So I’m really leaning towards the v6 right now. But will it be that much better than the 3sgte? Is it worth it? The car will not be a daily driver so that’s not a problem for me.

Hope to hear from you guys on this….

3 of the most valued memebers all pointing the same direction is good enough for me. 3s it is! The v6 sounds reeeeeally tempting though....i always thought they came with lsd...and vvti already. plus a nice lil 5psi and 2 grand in tires lol...that would be an animal.

But im sold. 3sgte it is for me. i think with the weight of the celi....a moddest 350hp would be the sweet spot. i have a pretty good idea of what i need to get there. so look out soon guys....some PMs may be coming your way soon. i still owe you a trip and some beers manny! i'll be up there soon!
