Turbo or supercharge and NA gas engine
Fellow gearheads good morning, had a discussion with a coworker about turbo charging or supercharging an GM 6.0, Ford 6.2 or Ram 6.4. This is not a you need a diesel or buy a diesel question. Just you...

If Ford thought force air was good for the 6.2, they most likely would have done it by now. Ecoboost 6.2!
The importance of factory warranty is becoming more important then ever as these new trucks continue to become more and more complex. So I do not understand why anyone would modify a vehicle in a way that would allow the manufacturer to void the warranty.
I think the bigger reason would be fuel economy. Turbo will reduce fuel economy noticeably. So if you tow with a 6.0, 6.2 or 6.4 consider that mileage will drop about 25%.
We have two 4 cylinder cars, one turbo and one non turbo, on the highway non turbo gets about 30 mpg, the turbo about 20 mpg. The turbo is lighter then the non turbo.
