[QUOTE="John813, post: 1537883, member: 17103"] The one advantage the Gen 2 will have is weight. There's a stretch where a group of us hit with some bumps/jump. Even the Gen 1's with 3.0's + don't take it as well as a Gen 2 with stock suspension. The gen 2 just glides over parts where the Gen 1 trucks fight the terrain. That being said, I've told myself twice I was going to go to a Gen 2, yet here I am in another Gen 1, with no regrets. What power levels are you shooting for? Mod pricing, the Gen 2 will be a lot cheaper to get power due to being already FI. Now if you can find a gen 1 that's already boosted then that comment is void. A simple tune/intercooler upgrade will give you a nice jump in power in a Gen 2 and not set you back 7k+. The 6.2L is a stout engine as mentioned above. I boosted my SCAB and made 525rwhp(cold dyno night) and it was a fun truck. I saw the new owner rocking it a few weeks ago. The weak points when you go boosted is the oil pump gear(potentially) and pistons once you really start wanting to up the boost. A N/A 6.2L will not gain you much power for headers/intake/tune. They are well air flowing stock. Headers are only worth it if you want that sound. A gen 2 will gain more with downpipes/intake/tune. [/QUOTE]
