Ok Ken. One Question. What do i do when i tow my car trailer? won't the injector timing,ignition timing,shift points..etc need to be different from a performance setting ? Does Roush have seperate programs for what you are doing with the truck? It would be nice to be able to tow AND have performance...just in case you run upon a TUNDRA at a stop;ight..ya know? Still a kid at heart after all these years!! Joe

I would take the factorying towing number and cut it in half as the safe tow limit. Unless you datalog the truck while towing, with a wide band O2 attached (though Roush's tune is very good with A/F ratios), you will not know how much more you can tow, so half the factory number is a good safe margin.

Cut the weight i can tow in 1/2? Heck..then i will not even be able to tow my open cartrailer. I beleive the weight limit is somewhere around 6-7000 lbs. Need to find my brochure. If i had to cut it in 1/2...THAT would make the blower useless to me!! If i understood what you meant right???

You misunderstood. As a generalization, you take the factory tow limit (9K-11K depending on your truck's configuration) and cut that in half when you add the blower (actually, a little more than half)
For instance, if the stock rating is 10K, I'd limit the towing to about 6K lbs. especially in the summer or on steep terrain.

Fun factor/powre improvement also...has to be worth it...i'd think? I currently have new Magna flow complete exhaust(cat-back)dual rear exit/ also K+N intake setup. Any other suggestions for upgrades??? ???? Thanks alot in advance,Joe
