Given that you did not ask if you should sell your truck and buy a diesel, I do not see why that keeps coming up. If you want to keep your truck and improve it to be better suited for what you use it for, I definitely think you should do exactly that.
The easiest way to this WITHOUT FABRICATION would probably be with adapters and an LSA blower, or with LS3/L92 heads and an LSA blower. Your 2001 6.0L should have cathedral port heads, and you can find adapters allowing the use of LSA blowers on said cathedral port heads. Or you can use the LS3/L92 heads on the 6.0L block, and the LSA blower mounts directly to them. This requires no fabrication, it uses all OEM parts (sans the adapters if you stick with cathedral port heads), and will put all the power exactly where you stated you are looking for more power. And can be 100% accomplished by you, without owning or operating a welder.

Should I piece this together or should I just bite the bullet and get a full kit from somewhere like JEGS?
What about my transmission and rear-end? The trans has 109k on it and the rear-end has 487k on it. I'd rather not be grenading stuff critical to moving.
