LOL!
I keep reading all your signatures and the gear you got and that's what causes the face you see in the pic below my name. ahahaha
The garage isn't heated and spring is a long way off after I get done with round one. Lots of thinking time, dangerous combo........

Just FYI, I have heard that the stock splits are capable of flowing enough to support up to 350 HP. This must be under ideal situations and I have not seen it done. I did make 311/640 with chip and some mild mods a few years back. Stock turbo and jectors they were.

Welcome to FTE Canuke!
For further thinking/moding down the road -
to help lower EGT's while towing on the bigger grades/mountains a bigger intercooler will help drop the EGT's. The 6.0 intercooler is better than the 7.3L stock one and can drop the EGT's 50 degrees or so, but the bigger more expensive DI Intercooler, Hypermax, & Spearco will drop it 200 degrees while towing. Also, a 1.15 housing for your stock turbo or a van turbo work very well for towing.
Best of luck & look foward to seeing ya on the road camping.......
Like said above, With the stock injectors & mods you have planned you should be around the 310 hp mark.
