I'd just build the 6.0 to the 408 or whatever you want, get the cam for FI and moderate compression, spray it in the mean time then boost it when you can afford it.

or be realistic and put a blower on it and be happy and save for the 6.0 again.

judging from your post in the truck stop i would just keep it and save some money "i need a J O B".

but personally i would just sell it and buy the blower.

The way I see it is that the 408 should still be cheaper than the radix. When you get the money then buy the radix.

Bolt on a supercharger and enjoy the power in 6 hours! Either way you go, make sure you have the money to do it right.
