I think the V6 gets a bad wrap mostly because it competed with the legendary and excellent Saab 4 cylinder. My understanding of the 3.0l in the 9k is that it's less troublesome than the 2.5 in the NG900. The thing with any naturally aspirated modern engine though, is that it's really hard to get much more power out of it, so especially with the alternative of a turbo engine tuners will always go with the turbo engine. I think anything beyond an exhaust and intake would be an adventure. That said, the engine is basically common among GM (Opel?) vehicles, so perhaps tuning parts are available from other applications.
