IMO, no. How much HP? As much as you want if you have the money, but would be a lot easier with a V8 but hey, it's not as common as the V8's and would be custom to you. So whatever your poison is, have fun.

You can get decent power for the little 6, but an engine swap to the 99+ 3.8L would make a big improvement to start with. Of course, there are 4.2L V-6 swaps and such as well.

id say put a 300 shot of nitrous on it and then when it explodes u will be forced to put a v8 in it then it will be worth moding
