Lame jokes aside though, what I said is true. You can most likely swap to a 3.2 for almost nothing. Nothing you can do to your 2.6 will give you that much more BHP for the money. In fact there's very little in the way of 'basic upgrades' that you can just 'put on' at all.

I know fitting 3.0 camshafts into a 2.5 is a popular mod for a decent BHP gain, but I'm no sure if this applies to 3.2/2.6.

It does, and its the only worthwhile improvement Thumbs Up!

Adds about 15-20bhp

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine
