But still, resale value on my car with a 3.6 swap would be bad and I'd lose a lot of money...
Hmmm
Maybe a turbo kit?

Bolt on turbo and supercharger kits for our cars are a bad idea imo. It's not a good idea to put forced induction on a gasoline engine with 11:1 compression. Due to the high compression anything more than a light breeze of 4-5 psi will blow your engine. Secondly, our engines have cast parts in them like the pistons ect, that where not designed to deal with the extra pressure and heat forced induction creates. Forged parts are best in these types of applications. So in order to do this right you need to rebuild the engine with lower compression forged pistons and probably reinforce or change several other things so this isn't going to be a cheaper option if done right.
