What would cost more 6.0 swap or a custom turbo with a FMIC?

Billy or Allen may be able to answer this better but I think the 6.0L will be the way to go.

6.0 cause you can put a turbo later on it! Like my plans are!!!
You will want more power after the V6..Its hard to resist the urge

I would like to see a turboed v6. They are rare in a truck. I like how the the GN run. I know you can make a 4.3L run like that.

What is sad about the turbo is that even if you doubled the HP it wouldn't be as impressive as a big V8. It would be cool, for sure.

As cool as turbos are and we have done a 4.3, IMO, do the 6.0.
You will spend a ton of cash doing the turbo to get even close to the power of the 6.0. Also, turbo have alot of small issues to address all the time. Just myfrom someone who has done both.
