Alright, so being unfamliar with this particular engine, what are some mods that could be done for more power?
Would upgrading the cam rods do anything on this car?
Also, how hard is it to work on an F-body with the engine tucked in like it is?
In the meantime, I'm going to have him over here and just tune the car for him. It takes him like 10 seconds just to get the engine to start cause he doesn't take care of it. I'm hoping when I show him the color of the oil in his engine vs the color of the new stuff I put in, that he'll get the idea.
Thanks again for any help...

Check out :
http://www.60degreev6.com/
http://www.engine-parts.com/GMV6/gm28stroker.html and
a GMPP catalog. There is little after market support for the 60 degrees. It's not fair.

Ok, on the second website you gave me the link for they have stuff about 2.8 - 3.4 stroker kits. Is the Vin S engine a 2.8 ltr engine with a kit then?

Also, what would a 3.8 ltr engine cost?
They do have more aftermarket goodies right?

Thanks again.

Oh yeah, Stock compressions is 9:1 on that car right? So, could he get new pistons (do they make them) that would bump the compression up to 10:1? Or is there too much risk of pinging/detonation with that combustion chamber?

Zank you wery mucho, hehe.
Apreciate any input.
