I have my doubts if there are any performance gains to be had on a V6 from the intake.

My 2 cents, for what it's worth...
The intakes on the V6 are the same as the V8, so if the stock intakes are "adequate" on the V8 then they are already going to be oversized on the V6, purely based on the difference in air consumption of a 5.0L V8 consuming 550hp of air, compared to a 3.0L V6 consuming 380hp of air (rough numbers for the sake of argument).
So i'd be very surprised if these intakes could make any significant improvement to the V6.
Sure would be nice to see an independent dyno before & after on a V8, or even a V6, but as you can tell I have my doubts about the gains on the V6 being anywhere near the numbers they claim for the V8, in raw numbers or percentage.

I still doubt they will make any noticeable difference on a V6 even with a pulley & tune.
The stock intake can manage 630+ hp on the V8's, a heavily tuned V6 is nowhere near that.
What did Unhingd make, ~420hp? The intake is not your restriction.
Let me put it another way, do you think the Eventuri intake will make $2000 worth of difference on the V6?
