Is this Seal Seal? As in fbodyv6.com seal? If it is damn dude what did you do your car
As for the v6...
It can handle a decent amount of boost, if you want to be safe the internals are interchangeable with GTP internals(alreayd boosted 3.8L) And they have been put to the 13s, 12s, 11s, and even 10s, in heavy *** FWD sedans. Before I woudl advise against it but tuning software is starting to come out with v6s so you can work with it.
But I still think a v8 swap would be the best way for power.... But with your car, I'd consider maybe selling and buying a v8 over a swap. But then again I have serioulsy been contemplating a ls1, 6-speed swap on my car. Ever since I did the t-top conversion on my car, I love it. If I was to go looking for a v8 car now I'd be looking for a NBM LS1 6-speed with t-tops.

Re: V6 Supercharge or V8 Engine Swap?
I would advise just selling your car and get a Z28, since you can find some nice cars around $ 5,000 - 10,000. The problem with Swapping the V6 to a V8, is the amount of work, a lot worse then what I am planning on doing to my car. I am planning on doing a 6 speed swap in Z28 but that is a lot easier then swapping engines and computers. Last I heard that you will also have to replace the K member because the V6 K member cannot handle the extra weight a V8 has. Maybe you can swap springs on the K member but I think the motor mounts on the V8 K member is different compared to a V6 but I am not too sure since I have never done a swap in these cars. Considering all the work and cost for a complete drive train swap since you will be swapping trannys as well as Drive shaft as well. If you are going to go that route then you might as well swap out the stock rear end for a 12 Bolt or a Ford 9" . Too me all this would not be worth it, especially when you decide to sell the car later on, you will have too much money into it and you will never be able to get your money back out of it, that you have put into it. This is just my opinion.
