250bhp is not to be sniffed at & I think an Alfa 2.5 on ITB's revving to 8000 rpm & exiting through a single tail pipe would probably sound as good as an Alfa could sound.

It would also possibly be the best impersonation of a Dino that an Alfa V6 could make as well.

That’s true, would a modified 2.5 be ok revving at 8000rpm?

Hi Chaps,


Well I’ve narrowed it down to one of two engines. It’s either gonna be a standard 3.2 with ITB’s, or a 2.5 with high compression pistons, forged rods, GTA cams, and ITB’s. I know that the 3.2 will have a load more torque and power, but I imagine that the 2.5 could sound nicer, and could be a more involved drive. I reckon the 3.2 would have around 300bhp, and the 2.5 250-260bhp. Not 100% sure yet, as the only V6 I’ve driven is a 3.0, and my 3.0 75.


Cheers
