gotta get cooled

Last night was my first time towing since my engine upgrades and TW. I definately recommend the TW, figure the total weight was around 25k lbs. Gained almost a gear over stock on hills, only thing I didn't care for was the EGT's going up and up. Definately liked the extra power.... OH, and the SMOKE
I never gave much thought about the engine lugging around 15-1800 rpms before the pyro but found downshifting and going a bit slower keeps the temps down quite a bit. Intercooler is soon to come!

You won't be disapointed. If you were closer I'd let ya try it out. Only thing is you probably wouldn't want to give it back! LOL Didn't take long to install. Can be done w/out removing the PCM, but does make it a lil easier cleaning the connectors.

Yep, you'll find out that if you drop it down a hole and keep the r's and the boost up you will reduce egts.

without much modding, and it all depends on how you mount the cooler.

thats what i mean, you have to "mock" the assembly and figure out where your pipes will end up. the closer your cooler is to that point = the less modding you have to do to the tubes.
