Default 3.7l engine discussion - swap?

i read on one of the threads that the 3.7l was identical to our engine and was simply bored out , some researching proved this to be true, some speculation on the idea that our stock ecu would work as well with some time . so this all sounds fine and dandy so far, but from looking at the numbers,it would literally only add 20 hp, for a full engine swap , so im hoping we can discuss if that version of our motor would have more upgrades available , and more hp output potential , perhaps even a turbo available to it ? although i do understand that our computers are the real issue with turbos and super chargers. i want your thoughts, is this even a worth while idea? im sure we could find these motors relatively cheap if we wanted too , but is there support for these things , how hard would it speculatively be ? could we breathe new life into our crossfires? GO!

I am thinking hard about a Pentastar 3.6 conversion. I am trying to see what computer issues we might get there. They are 305hp and, since they are still new, do not have much aftermarket, but I feel it is only a matter of time since this platform apprears to be the future of Dodge for V6 for a long time. Also, from what I hear, it was developed and built to see boost so it should be a good fit for what we are needing in our rides??? Time will tell.

what computer issues would we have do you think , the ecu would probably have to come from whatever was pushing it originally , then we would have to figure out how to make the rest of the car like it . logistically the only issue i see at first would be the cost of the new motor. this would be a pain in the butt'ole im sure plus the work, next the transmission, im sure ours is great, but realistically i could see it handling up to 300hp only thoughts?
