I don't tow enough to tell you the difference..but my redneck hill Billy deluxe dyno consist of a hill out front about 3/4 of a mile long and just about strait up. I live right at the bottom of it..from a dead stop I would mash the peddle to floor when my truck was all stock and I was lucky to get 55 MPH out of her by the top..after the mods I'm at the top at 98 MPH and climbing but no more room..when doing the turbo up grade with my old turbo the EGT's would max out to just over 1300* at the top... after the 99.5 turbo with the wicked wheel it is now just touch en 1200* at the top.. if you look at my pix..the ealy turbo and spider all have a much smaller air flow then the later...it made a big dif. in temps and very little in power..maybe lacking a little low end..but the 99.5 HPOP will make up for it..if funds will allow..my norm egt's riding a 55 mph back road i was running 750 to 800 most of the time..now its like 700 to 750

so could you see 12-1300* pretty easily or not with the early turbo...say on hills normal driving with a small load, 120r taking off from a stop light w/ heavy accel., etc.?

in my 120 race flat road, old turbo, i would hit 1250 before the truck got to 100..right now about 100 MPH she is at about 1200 and i am able to keep climbing before it maxed out at 1250..hard to tell but maybe 110 MPH..speedo would be pointing strait down....
i have moved my brothers 1400 lb camper.. but i use the 60 tow..if i really got after it i could make it hit 1300 but was over 55MPH by then..i havent towed with my truck yet..got screwed on a trans..wish i could help you more..

Ron's "dyno" run sounds about right I'll hit 1300 a little before 100 MPH and the SES light comes on and derates the truck.

Gene --> I couldn't resist considering some of the olfactory delights I've encountered so far. Since you're still in Cali, I'm 10 hours ahead of you. It's ~9am here, so that makes it yesterday where you are.

Up for me is approximately 90 degrees off of up for you...

I think my smaller plenum is even more restrictive than my smaller boots and spider, and all those restrictions combined would tend to make a little more BP for a given CFM, and when I look at Tenn's data of CFM vs BP I think I can confirm that. Hopefully I can get better data on Tenn during his dyno run at Smokin this year.

With a 70 HP Superchip and a Banks big head and K&N cone, I was getting 26 to 27 psi max when towing grades. With my current stock actuator and DP 40 I top out at 22 psi, but the truck clearly has more pulling power now than with the Superchip.

I guess you're referring going off you special diet? Or did you just smell the food, and then watch someone else do the tasting? Well all I know about up is that the stock market is headed in a different direction, and just when I was getting interested in a bigger truck and 5er.
