I hsve had the same thoughts. I have not looked into yet, I am very interested in finding out. I to am tired of the same reply of "get a hemi, or supercharge it". Not to mention the cost of these options.

A 60 degree v6 does not take to mods very well.
I have heard that the bottom end is not very strong for holding much hp also.
For the money spent on forged crank/rods/pistons, Head work etc. you could have a hemi.

Its not a good engine to start a build with. You could do it if you really wanted, but like others have stated already the cost to build it up to get similar numbers out of the options you are sick of hearing, will be close. There are some fast or powerful v6 engines out there but they cost as much and sometimes more than a v8. You would want a 90* v6 we have 60* v6s. Again if you dont like the other options that are out there because of the price, you wont find it any easier with your stock engine. The amount of time and money to do the R&D, you could already be driving a Hemified JK.
