That would be really overkill, as I said previously, altough I have already seen some 3.0L turbodiesels performing the same jobs that the 6.0L does, such as the 4JJ1-TC from the Isuzu NPR Eco-Max. BTW is the 6.0L stock? Have you never ever even lurked about getting a cam with the same profile of the one from the Tahoe hybrid, which is also a 6.0L, and to fit it with a supercharger?
