[Tigers] V6 Alpine eats most Tigers?

Joe sells kits to fix the steering problems, headers, cam made specfic for the engine and car. I dont recall how many HP Joe got out of the 2.8 but he also had an intake for a 4 barell in his kit. Ive owned a few Bronco 2s that had the 2.8 engine. Today its hard to find heads for them unless they have an aftermarket. Joe told me his V6 Alpine would out run a STOCK Tiger. Now I think we have to note the key word is "stock" I promise if Joe says it will out run a stock Tiger, then it will. I dont recall the HP that the V6 made but it wasnt a slouch by any means and prolly handled better than a Tiger as well with so much more room in the engine compartment to achieve the correct weight ratio.
My 2 cents worth.
