Why are there no perf. parts for the 3.0?

I would do a super in a minute. Why is it that they are no "true" peformance parts out there. At least that I have found. That can put more than 5 extra horses to the ground and still cost $1000.

there is... go to the ESS website... the question would be why though as selling the 3.0 and getting a 4.4 would cost you the same amount if not less.

Same reason there are 900+ hp I4 honda's running around. Because more power is a good thing, all the time, with every car, and every motor.

I wouldnt think having a V8 would be a requirement to add perf. parts. Arent their more 3.0's running around? Isnt there a large market for this type of thing?

Most people don't choose to mod the 3.0i, if they wanted more performance, I'm sure they would have gotten the 4.4i, I regret not getting it. But if you're going for a supercharger, get the ASA 3.0i kit. It will bring you to about 4.6is/4.8is numbers, for around $7000 installed.

I plan on doing this, if not in the summer, then around fall or springtime next year.
