As far as I'm aware, the V6 only weighs around 20-30kgs more than a 20xe. I can't see it affecting the handling too badly, not enough to notice when driving on the roads anyway.

the average v6 from cavalier etc isnt really much more power than an xe. They are about 165 ish. Later vectra sri was 175 and the gsi 192. Not exactly worth it unless its the 175 with 3.0 cams if you ask me.

well my let is running 350bhp with a front mount and a few more little bits so the power is double that of the other engine, but you need to think how much power you want, i spin the wheels at 140mph if that sounds bad dont get a let, if that sounds good get a let

at the min nothing has broken, i dont run at 28psi all the time normally around 14psi just to be sure, everything works fine tbf, its in the garage at the min having brakes, suspension, bodywork all sorted they are one hell of a laugh tho and destroying more exoensive cars is always fun
