if you can find a turbo , the performormance is like day and night.with minor fabricating you can get a 6.5 turbo to fit.thats the direction im probly gonna go.One thing i have heard is dont try to turn up the fuelscrew like cummins guys do,cuz it will only cause problems and give you no noticeable power increase.yeah its nice to see more 6.2l guys.there is only one guy i know of who has one ,everyone else is converting theres to 350s.

I know banks makes a nice turbo kit for the 6.2. But the after market for those engines are not all that great they got over taken by the 6.5. As for web sites i really dont know of any good ones but look around you will find emm good luck diesel buddie

I've done some reading on the Banks 6.2 turbo kit and definitely am aiming for it sometime in the future, and I have noticed how hard it is to find even dress up kits for a 6.2 much less performance parts. Is it true that you can swap a 6.5 set of heads onto a 6.2? and I have looked into cranks from Scat and main bearing kits from felpro, so hopefully that will help as well.
