I don't see how you can compare a "6" to a "roto". I think you have to be a little more specific.

Interesting question, since 6 cyl swaps are very rare.

If its the turbo six, like from the grand national, then of course the 6.

If its a crappy six, like in the 90-94 cavaliers, then I would think probably the 13b...

Niether one will be faster than another. Personally a 4.3L V6 will probably be faster than a stock N/A 13b. But a 13bt with just a few mods could be faster. It really depends, on mods, and and what you want reliably. To many variables to discuss.

Ehhh. We were all new once. It's always best to be nice to the newbie's because someday they might be able to help you. Let us know what you do.

BTW, no pressure but GO ROTARY! j/k

there's no way to tell.. one could always be faster than the other.. a GM V6 vs a TurboII motor, a turboII motor vs a Grand National Motor, a Grand National Motor vs a 20B (3 rotor), a 20B vs a Supra motor, a Supra Motor vs a 4-rotor, a 4-rotor vs a super built Supra motor.. I mean..
