Yeah but, how much HP and TQ can you push out with twin turbos reliably with stock internals? Even Ford added stronger connecting rods and better pistons for the Megazilla which isn't even forced induction. I'm sure whatever they come up with will make in excess of 600HP and TQ but will probably cost in excess of $10k. You might as well just get a whipple 3.0 at that point and save all the clutter under the hood with 2 turbos and plumbing.

I think the turbo and superchargers are for the gas guys that want to modify their trucks, kind of like the diesel guys who delete their trucks.

I think two small turbos would be a fantastic idea. The wipple kit is great, but it is very thirsty. Two small turbos on a stock 7.3 would give it more power, but if tuned right would not hurt the mileage like a supercharger.

There is a guy in the Tremor forum with a 7.3 thats got a whipple and it is no more thirsty than my DRW 7.3 with 4.30s already is. Turbos or a supercharger it doesn't matter how it's tuned, the skinny pedal will dictate how thirsty it is.

I would love to see what 3-4 psi of boost would do at low elevations. Cummins will be coming out with their 6.7 turbo gas engine and really looking forward to its performance. Could be a game changer with massive torque from its under square configuration.

I have been hearing about that 6.7L Cummins gasoline engine for over 2 years now. Funny thing is there has been no word on what if any truck it will be available in. Seems that Ram decided to stay with the Hemi for the HD's and will not be offering the Cummins gas. Sketchy rumor that Freightliner is thinking about it for the medium duty M2's but that is it. Won't be the first time Cummins made an engine no one bought. Hope someone does offer it, I would consider buying one in a big pickup.

If you test drive and all seems well I dont think the amount if time on the lot is a negative. I've bought unsold previous model year vehicles multiple times at steep discounts. No issues from any of them that would have anything to do with being on the lot for a year. Think of the field of 2022s at Kentucky Motor Speedway for months getting wiring attacked by mice. I would be more worried about a truck that sat in a Nascar infield for 8 months than a dealership lot.

I sent a text to Banks Performance asking if they had any updates with the 7.3 Godzilla. They responded that they are working on a turbo Godzilla series that will be coming the 1st quarter of this year.
