a few v6 basic ?'s

[doc stang]

is the v6 aluminum blocked, like the v8?
how high do they rev?
what are the stock hp/tq numbers
what is the most NATURALLY ASPIRATED power anyone has made with one?
what mods?
how much lighter is a v6 CAR, than the v8??
or
how much lighter is the v6 BLOCK than the v8

what would headers, UDPs, cams, CAI, and a custom tune make?

Nope it's a cast iron block.
Reds in the 6
they say 210hp, but is it?

210 at the engine, but I'd be curious to see how much is lost in the drivetrain before it hits the wheels. MY '00 lost about 17% from engine to the wheels.

Most 4.0L will pull about 170-180 RWHP at most, stock. On a Mustang Dyno, I was able to put down 200RWHP and 198TQ with an AFE CAI, Brenspeed 93 tune, Ninosport duals with GT take offs. Mustang Dyno is more real world numbers, or about 6-8% lower that a DynoJet would show. I'm happy with my numbers. Definitely does not feel stock after my mods... Hope this helps...

i have an 07 v6. i have installed a c&l cai, bbk 70mm throttle body, screamin demon coils with msd wire and bosch +4 fussion plugs, underdrive pully, shorty headers, 2.5" true dual exhaust with x-pipe and end dumps with no mufflers, 8.8 rear end w/3.73 gears and t-lock, aluminum driveshaft (14lbs), diablo sport programmer with bamachips 93 race tune, and a steeda short throw shifter. i have not went to the dyno yet, but i know i'm faster than a stock gt or a stock 98-2002 trans am. i'm waiting on the aluminum flywheel and kevlar clutch to come in to take it to the track and see what it will do. right now, if i hit it hard the clutch slips. and i'm gonna take it to put it on a dyno for fine tuning. i ran an 02 trans am with a hyper-tech tune, cai, and borla exhaust. from 30- 120 we were nose to nose. we ran twice and it was the same out come both times. i hope this can atleast give you and idea of what can be done with what results. my next step is to build the block with forged internals and stage 3 heads and cams and add a roots style forced induction. i'm shooting for a solid 500 hp, but we will see how it goes.
