Awesome, thanks guys.
The truck I would like to build would be a 2001-2007 Chevy or GMC 3/4 ton (2500HD) Crew cab short bed 4x4 gas (6.0) truck. Not really looking for a drag truck, just something reliable. The idea of maybe adding a turbo would be for just a touch extra power for towing purposes.
The factory 6.0 engines that came in these trucks range from ~300hp/360 lb. ft, on up to about 360hp/375 lb. ft.
Any respectable Mild Pontiac build can create those numbers, and without too much effort exceed them. Even without a turbo. But I’ve used a few diesel trucks and that turbo sure makes a world of difference. Can’t imagine that it wouldn’t help considerably with a gas engine also.
I just wonder how reliable such an engine would be. You think, considering the intended purpose, the turbo would be better left out of the equation?
