Or 160 singles with stock nozzles for some great towing performance and keeping the egts even lower. There are more than a few OBS guys with no intercoolers running those sticks while towing good loads and keeping the temps down. And IMO they are just a little bit safer for us PMR fools.

I put a set of the stage one, 160cc singles with stock nozzles in the 95 dump truck, it has 5.38 gears, and by no means is it slow for a dump truck. I have 40t and 60t tunes on the chip (Tipton) and it's fine in 40t, however in 60 it rolls serious coal whenever the pedal is hit, in any gear. It rolls almost as much smoke as my truck in agressive setting. The temps get HOT quick, pulling a hill 2500+ RPMs in OD, with a minor load on, it will hit 1400-1500* no problem very quickly. Its fun to watch that EGT gauge go from 600 to 1500 very quickly, then ya gotta let out of it.

I had everything possible done with stock injectors and was right at about 355 HP, so just a chip won't get you there. I agree with what Kris has reccomended. Hybrids, upgraded oil, BB turbo (drop in), chip, and I'd look into a Spearco IC as well. I had a stock 6.0 IC before this one and didn't see much of an improvement in EGT's. The Spearco made a definite difference though.
