I have a 6.2 non turbo and was wondering if a 6.5 turbo was alot faster especially up hills? The 6.2 non turbo up hills dosn't do the speed limit very easily. What is the power of a 6.5 turbo compared to a 350 gasoline?

6.2L diesel 100hpish
6.5L normal asperated (non turbo)145hpish
6.5L turbo 165-185 hp ish
350 gas built right way 250-400hp or more
what you want for a 350 is a 4 bolt main with small chamber head's, ending up at about 9.5 to 1 compression , anything higher you need to run high octane gas , 6.2 6.5 is not made for speed its built for towing.

6.5L turbo 4911 pump 200HP 420ft/lb will pull a lot better than a 350 and will be cheaper to operate too.
