Message: [QUOTE="SkySki Jason, post: 77679, member: 1118"] No, its 324hp - but it does have a van turbo. Lol! (stocker broke) I have towed my rock crawler - ~7000lbs including trailer, extra fuel and camping gear thru the Appalachian Mtns in that tune and struggled to get it up to 1200*, driving like I STOLE IT. I wanted to see how far I could push it before EGT's and trans temps were an issue - they never were. THAT was with the stock turbo... I do know full well that would never happen (towing in 100hp tune) where Pocket lives, with loooooong, steep grades and roads that go over 12k ft - but below 5000ft it was not a problem. I travel all over the country for work, towing a 5ver or TT to live in. If ya like, I'll pick you up next time I pass thru your neck of the woods and put my truck where my mouth is. I'm not here to brag or make friends by having a 'special' stock truck - I'll leave that to the idiots who claim they get 25mpg with a chip and an exhaust system. :blah: I will say the tunes I have now are pretty good, since I watched similar trucks with 'live tuning' go over the rollers and make less HP (and lots of smoke, lol). The only reason I mentioned my 'stock' truck, was PSCowboy said he would love 300hp in a tow tune - and I didn't think I was far from that (287 'stock' in X's 60tow tune - and I would expect a bit more in F350 with fresh longblock, AC's and 38R). I will be building my Excursion this winter and would like to see 500-550hp... Also, I have a 'tow rig' that has AC codes and a 38R. It works fine, but I want more from the Excursion's build and thats why I'm even following along about the 200% nozzles!! I'm starting to believe these big nozzles are what I'm looking for, but still having trouble believing they can be 'smoke free' for normal driving and towing. Looking forward to seeing Vanderchevy's truck again now that he has the GTX installed and gets some tweaking done to his tunes!! [/QUOTE]
