7.3 Deisel vs. V10 blown w/NOS

Which has more potential to for power and/or a better power curve in the lower gears? I know that stock, the 7.3 wins. But what about V10 w/a blower and NOS.

7.3 Still wins. Both blower and NOS need high RPM to be effective. Low gears and high RPM isnt an ideal situation for anything but drag racing.

What is it that you are trying to determine?

Low end power?

blower and nitrous....hmmmmm

even very well built race motors don't use this combo long before disaster strikes!

v-10's have powdered metal rods, and WEAK (glass?) cast pistons. i would be warry of over 8lbs of boost on a v10, let alone N20 in addition to it.

I think the blower and nitrous. I make 567 rwhp and 640 lb/ft with 21 psi boost on my 5.4 V-8. There is no telling how much you could make with a good built V-10 6.8L with a good twin screw supercharger and some nitrous. Probably somewhere around 1000 rwhp and lots of torque.
