because turbo'ing is not nearly as difficult as the above, nor as expensive I would imagine.

I was thinking of mounting one under the truck and run some ducting to it. But that portion is up in the air. I'm going to experiment with using heads and intake mani from a viper. I'll order up a head gasket from a viper first to see how everything lines up.

The plan is a pair of PTE billet t3 turbos. I just need to figure out the optimal turbine housing size. Engine may end up being a bit over 488 cu in by the time it's built
