Im trying to figure out what it is that makes this 3 liter V6 so weak. Is it the intake? the cams? ECU? combustion chambers? Im hoping guys like EB will chime in with some areas that need work on this engine.

From my limited exp Im thinking the Exh valves are a bit too small or maybe the intake runners are too restrictive? I have done quiet a bit of work to mine and Im fairly happy with the results but Im looking for more.

It baffles me why no one has blank cam stocks or why more perf parts arent available. There is tons of these things running around but not many perf shops make anything for them? I have an extra 3.0 on the stand I was planning on rebuilding with one of EB's master kits (cost is very reasonable) but id like to know why the damn things make no power down low? Maybe Im just expecting too much from 3 liters but I dont think so.

There should be enough motor oriented guys here to come up with some good discussion.
