YoungTiger,

The stock 2.8 V6 with a two barrel will perform about like a stock 260 Tiger. A V6 with a Holley 390 cfm four barrel and a medium cam will outrun a stock 289 Tiger. A 2.8 V6 with the heads ported and polished, four barrel carb and the 3/4 grind cam, will turn 13’s in the quarter, which will outrun a lot of modified Tigers.

The real strong suit of the V6 Alpine with a modified V6, is in slaloming or autocrossing, because they still handle like the Alpine in the turns, plus have the power to exit a corner hard and accelerate between the turns like the Tiger.

Jose 😀
