Hey just wondering how reliable is the 6.2l when you introduce boost I'm thinking of the roush kit.

I personally wouldn't simply because it's my daily, the less mpgs and relialibility issues deter me from it, however if it's just a toy why not

Driving my Whippled 560 rwhp for 7 years and it's my daily driver.
Granted I average 5,000 miles a year but I have a ton of fun every time behind the wheel.

I have a 2013 6.2 with the stage 2 roush supercharger. 80k + and not a single issue. It puts it up close to 600 hp. No one expects what it can do. Mine isn’t all badged up. I would highly recommend it!

My motor has been fine with the Roush stage 2. However my stock exhaust hasn't held up. Blown a cat, couple manifolds, etc. Full headers/true dual exhaust are being installed as we speak since I'm sick of it.

Agreed on the no-badging. Makes for a good time when people wanna play with you.

So when you say tune not a canned tune you mean get a custom tune.

Any other supporting mods that should be done? Drive shaft or rear end stuff?

Not unless you start going crazier. With my change to a 69mm pulley (and headers) I've done the oil pump and an upgraded driveshaft. Stock was fine running the 75mm and beating on it pretty hard. I also have the larger Cobrajet throttlebody.

I'd recommend a custom tune. I used JDM.
