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 your thoughts on what option would you chose on a 3/4 ton gas job for towing and why. I’m familiar with LS engines very much so and know that bottom end stock holds very well with boost. So not a question of what blows up or what truck is better.... just your thoughts. Thanks guys have a great day.

  • 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.

    You got me. On edit, it appears this is a double post thread.

    And personally for towing I think turbocharging works best since the power is needed at steady speeds after the engine is up to speed. Steady towing would seem to work best with a turbo, and no engine power lost to drive the turbo.

    Of all the ****, brand fighting, member arguing, etc that goes on here, this is what you choose to call out publicly? Wow. It appears nothing more than a glitch or mistake.
