I don't know about the turbo thing, but my truck used to have an inline 6, when i bought it it had a holly 650cfm 4bbl carb on an offenhouser intake with true dual headers and true dual exhaust, it was pretty quick and powerful with that setup that may be a cheaper route for you to take...

That's pretty much what I'm doing to mine. And as far as putting a turbo on it is it worth the time or money. I don't want to do something that's not gonna benefit me. Anybody know the cost?

I don't know much on turbos. I read a duramax turbo can do 10.8 psi. But idk if a cummins turbo or one from a ford is better. Do you know? And what's it gonna cost you to do all this?
