Is a turbo worth the money on a v6? I'd say hell yea! Of course you wont be blowing through the 1/4 in less than 10 sec, but Orange Thunder, who is a member over at v6f150 and on here, I think ran a 11.2 at 122 mph on 15 lbs of boost. that was the last and best ever run for his truck.

Plus if setup and tuned right, a turbo might help out on MPG, depending on how heavy your foot is.
