That would probably get you better than 50% over stock HP and TQ.
i agree but if the motor is build by a restectable engine builder a 408 will last cause he will not be turnning it to the moon it will probably never see but 4500 to 5000 rpms.
witch that said i would say either a rear mount turbo are a root s/c you cann't go worng either way and it will be a nice setup and either one will tow a house.
if you want i can get you some help on this just send me a pm

All those big cubes take big amounts of gas. I'd stay with the 6.0 and get all the bolt ons. More power and still reliable. If thats not enough, get a Radix. Even more power down low and still not to bad on gas. A turbo would be at almost full spool on the highway when towing a load. That would kill gas fast.

for the inof you give you want to do something and bad if i were in your shoes i would do the 408 with l92 heads and a root style s/c the new mp122 i think it is would be bad a$$ in my mindit would give you lots of low end and with the boost it would care the tq curve way out in the rpm range
