Going to Mod the V6 Tib!!
Im looking for ideas as to what sorta mods + HP numbers I can expect to get with for my GT Tib. Also looking into swapping in a XG 3.5L into it...this doable? Any thoughts and ideas are welcome!

SFR has swapped the 3.5l into the GK. From the sounds of things it makes for a pretty fast car. I would probably go for the 3.8l though if it was me and I was going to all the trouble.
CAI will get you like 3-5hp, catback 5-8hp, header 3-8hp...
F/I will get you to around 300hp easily enough...

Dude you can easily get to 250+whp with stock longblock and a S/C from NGM wink.gif
Oh well yeah of course...but seeing as its the V6...Id like a little more than 250 with a S/C no less...Most V6 engines carry 250 N/A!! STOCK!

I did say easily! That's with a base kit no intercooling wink.gif
And, 250whp N/A, not really. They come stock with like 170whp. The guys with all the bolt-ons and most of the internal mods get a bit over 200whp.
Anyways, frankly, once you're over 300whp with a FWD, it's all the same. Wether you have 900whp or 400whp, with a FWD sports coupe you will always run 12s, or if you're lucky, high 11s.

It's in the Azera(FWD), Veracruz(FWD, AWD), Entourage(FWD), and the upcoming Genesis Sedan and Coupe(RWD) in various power outputs from 250hp in the Entourage to 263 in the Azera to 310 on premium in the Genesis Coupe.

Oh I was refering to most OTHER V6 cars, like the 350Z, G35...so on. but true 300hp would be nice in that car. tongue.gif

Ah!
Well you have to keep in mind that the hyundai delta (2.7 V6) is an underpowered, under-engineered, kind of crappy engine wink.gif
You need to make a lot of modifications to it in order to get it to put out the power that the korean pot-smoking engineers weren't able to get out of it wink.gif

If it's any help, I have an 06 Tib - V6 with I/H/E, pulleys, SFR ECU and VHR clutch + LW flywheel. My last dyno with these mods was 193 whp and 191 tq.
