The saying used to be " there is no replacement for displacement" meaning the best way to make power was a bigger cubic inch block. This is now changing with the introduction of single and dual turbo-charged engines. It is now possible to make big power with a six cylinder engine. So, to try and answer your question, It depends on your usage for the vehicle... a mini van? Six works great. A '68 Firebird or performance (muscle) car... go eight. A late model street car... If it came with a six, you are going to have a hard time at the inspection/emissions station if you install a 8 where a six is supposed to be.

What is the difference between a v6 and a v8 in an SUV?
Answer Two Pistons !! A V8 will give you more power.Answer1- usually v8 has worst mileage, except in some SUVs2- V8's typically have more Horse Power - so better acceleration3- Some V8's have better torque, although many V6's can be tuned for better torque at low range - which is what one needs to get out of snow, mud,going up hills, etc.4- Compare the V6 and V8's based on their mileage (usually V6's have better mileage - but not always).AnswerIn many cases a full size SUV is underpowered with a V6 which makes the engine have to work hard and can make mileage worse. So a V8 when driven exactly the same can get better mileage and has surplus power if you choose to use it. Check the est. MPG when comparing you may be surprised.
