Whew! Nearly $1800 USD. For that money I'd say he'd start gathering parts for a 4bt swap. Thank you though.

Depends on how far you are going, but I have built a few 'out-of spec' turbocharged and NA engines. I like Haltech for A/F control......works great with V8's and basic /Bosch sensors......good management for the money....

So you've found the secret formula for making extra power without extra heat?

Maybe this will work with a 3.5. 3.9, or 4.0, but I would be hesitant with a 4.6 which has already been pushed to the limits of it's inherent flaws...

Of course not, but I did state that the cooling system would be upgraded as well. In fact, it already has been with a larger all aluminum radiator, high flowing electric fan setup, and in line thermostat. The cooling system isn't even remotely taxxed.
