First heavy tow

So my buddy and I went up to the NHRDA event this weekend in Fountain Fl which turned out to be a flop due to the track owner. Anyways, my buddy towed me up and I towed him back. We had a 28ft gooseneck. Total trailer weight was 16000lbs on my 04 6.0 PSD CC SRW 4x4 with 35's. Truck pulled it no problem up and down hills going 75-80 mph and still gettin 10mpg. EGT's were about 1050 and boost was about 12lbs on the flats and tranny stayed below 170 the whole trip. 400 miles one way.I was very impressed.

Also, that was running 70% home brew Bio
