Instead of a turbo with all the exhaust system work, a supercharger ("blower") works well. Also available for many engines (sorry, don't know for sure for 5.2's) is a belt-driven half of a turbo. It's cheaper (smaller and less machining), doesn't mess with the exhaust, and doesn't take up all the top-of-block space a blower takes. I've seen them advertised for Ford boat engines, but I haven't looked for Chrysler engines yet.

Hey, found some more info.
Magazine article on the centrifugal supercharger.
See:
"OffRoad Adventures" magazine,Oct-Nov 2002, pg. 56. It's for a GM, but maybe the company also makes one for the 5.2

Turbo's will make more power with less boost - already proved that one. ;)
