It's under the diesel side of the chart. Lol
Still needs a roots supercharger too...
I wonder how a roots would do on a diesel compared to a turbo. I know the Titan I tested out had a small and a big turbo in sequence to deal with turbo lag.

I'll take a twin charged diesel over a v8 any day.
Both will be replaced by electric someday. Once battery technology reaches high enough energy density.

Gotta love the torque the electric powertrains offer.

I've seen a lot of stuff from the pro towing/rv community that is very positive. Some of those guys run a super, and "a big lazy set of twins".
Handle take offs, and hill climbs great.
Gotta be setup right, and the plumbing can be a bitch.
The General consensus is that a super on a small-medium diesel makes it feel Luke's big v8. Boost St idle is really nice.

Instant torque, at that!

Another interesting tidbit from the video is the 4.88 offering on 6 speed manuals.

Getting 4.88's from the factory is awesome. I gotta say, I'm glad I got the gears in my Jeep. Seems to put shifting back in the right spot. I will say though that the jump from 2nd to 3rd is still a bit of a stretch. Reverse is still obnoxiously tall and needs to be addressed. IMHO

Don't forget factory steel bumper option, and metal dash.
Steel bumper is a good option. It should come with the winch plate already installed though, as its a real pain if you don't have the threads welded on.
