Not sure what the hell it was. We are going to be doing the internals, so I'm not too concerned. I'm trading the Burnanator into my tuner for a 20K credit towards the engine build on the new truck.

It's still up in the air. I like the ability to have different boost settings with a turbo setup. My engine guy has a couple of big TT Truck projects currently under construction. He was also talking about a big single turbo set up. I am wondering if I would miss seeing full boost at 1500 RPM that a Whipple Supercharger can provide. The new 3.3L Whipple is built to handle 30 PSI. The problem is adjusting boost requires changing the pully!

Having not driven a vehicle like that I would think I would want good low end torque for squirting around town. If they can give that to you in a turbo set-up, I think that's they way to go. But you probably want 1000hp, so you'll have to go big and have some lag I'd assume.
Have you been out in any of their turbo trucks? That'd probably help the decision process...

I know Pro. It does sound too good to be true doesn't it. It kinda makes me a bit nervous. 
The build will not be very straight forward. I don't think there has been a ton of heavy mods done on the new 6.2L or the 6L80E 6-Speed automatic. Hope I don't blow it up too bad!
