Our engine is just not made for power- it is made for fuel economy. You would have to change everything that bolts on, literally, as well as much of the internals (namely the head, cams, and valves) and the ECU. Might as well just do a swap.

I'll put it this way- there are 8 and 10 cylinder F1 engines out there smaller than the V6 in your grandmother's 1997 Chevy Malibu that make 4 times the power- just because the smaller F1 engine makes the power does not mean that it is feasible or even possible to do the same thing to Granny's Mali-boo. See where I am going with this? Certain engines are made from the ground up with one thing in mind, and every last detail is engineered to achieve that.
