Default Twin Turbo V8

Ford has their ecoboost and with chevy looking into their own V6 twin turbo, hp/tq numbers combined with mpg seem like its a trend that will still around since you kind of get the best of both worlds. We with hemi's like the fact we have the bad *** V8 with the numbers we put out but what if ram went with a twin turbo setup on our hemi, blew fords ecoboost numbers out the window and somehow manages to get us a 25-30mpg. a 500hp+ / 550ft/lbs and more power in lower rpm range would be something i would buy and definitely rub in to my ford buddies

STI has a twin turbo kit for the earlier gen trucks. they get 8-10mpg.

The whole point in going Turbo is to get better mpg's around town(keeps turbo out of boost) with a smaller block that consumes less fuel. Turbo's will always have a lag, so guys that tow, aren't going to like anything ecoboost.
Turbo is more expensive than 2 added cylinders as well, soit's actually more expensive to have a v6 Turbo than a V8 N/A
