that would get us 15 pages of arguing, 1 page of being told by the moderator to calm things down, 2 pages to blame the "other" side for starting it, and then 2 pages of apologizing and saying we really meant something other than how the other side took it

The most common figure I've ever seen is 3% per thousand feet. 3% x 9.5 = 28.5% loss. 362 HP x .0715 = 258 HP. Wouldn't be THAT bad!

Bill- is there even enough room under the hood of your van to put a twin turbo on it?? I would imagine you would have to mount them on the front half of the engine, and that's a lot of piping and brackets, etc, crammed into a really small space.

Don't tell my wife that Crazy. She might still be under the impression that a turbo upgrade is important... because we live on a hill.

That would make more power than the rods/ block would take and reliability means more than power to me.
What I would like to do is one turbo ( 4-5 pounds boost ), PI heads, 5 star tune, headers, Y pipe and cat delete. 300-350 HP to the ground with good reliability.
Add a 6 speed ZF, GV OD and 4.88 LS and I would have a beast of a pulling rig.
I just Need the cash to do it.

With big displacements, you don't need a lot of boost. Theoretically speaking, if you have 362BHP stock (3v V10), with 5 PSI of boost, you could be looking at as much as 485HP at the crank, which is pretty significant. Which sticks it right at round 350-380 RWHP.
With 10 PSI of boost on a V10, you'll be looking at the 600HP+ range.

Well all I can speak to is mt own experience. I currently own a 6.0L and up to 100k I didn't have anything really go wrong accept the dumb fuel gauge quit, and some o rings, that was it. After 100K WOW all hell broke loose, head gaskets, egr, oil cooler, 4x4 quit completely, vacume pump, relays, trailer brake controller faults, dash going nuts sometimes it says I am doing 120mph and turning 1200 rpm, when my gps says I am doing 70 at 2000 rpm, now starting issues, sounds like an old detroit diesel on a cold morning when it starts, missing, lopeing, etc. So needless to say I will not be buying another diesel unless its an older 7.3 or Ford with a Cummins 
thats the ultimate prize there. My plan is to buy the 2011 with the new 6.2L engine in it. But we will see I am going to Dallas today to get my wife at the airport so I will leave early and see if there are any v 10's around, I doubt it as they are hard to find.
