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...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the main benefit for forcing air into an engine for towing is the fact that it will give it a significant boost in torque at a lower RPM range. All you guys are thinking about is HP. You could tune the engine to produce the same amount of peak HP but could get a significant amount more peak Torque or at least lower the peak torque in the RPM range to make the towing experience more relaxing. The Fuel mileage wouldn't really change that much. The energy used to move the load won't change much you'll just be able to do it at a lower RPM more often. If anything the fuel mileage may increase a tad.
