Message: [QUOTE="mikeeg02, post: 1425552, member: 24194"] I think the point most of us have been trying to make, is if your unhappy with the performance of your setup, and thats the turbo you have (and to this point I/We are assuming everything is tight, no leaks etc) that this may be the light at the end of the tunnel you're looking for. Sure quick spurts, street driving it may still be a fun setup, and you don't notice some of the problems, but now you've hooked to a big trailer, and want to use your power you have made available to yourself. And I know Ty has towed ALOT with his, but up until recently in the thread, he'd mentioned about using the right tune. Telling me he tows in a lighter tune. (Which is not a problem, and probably smarter. Up until that point I @$$umed he towed in the same file he ripped around in. Like I do. I know if I kept my pulse width to ~2.8ms, I could tow whatever I wanted with the 38R, and it wouldnt get hot, it would stay right about 1250*, but I studded, did beehives, built a dual stock pumped RR fuel system, dual disc clutch, and have more fuel available that I want to be able to use. With my tuning I couldnt drive it into surge (pretty sure ge@rhead doesnt fuel enough below 2k for that). For me, with the 6 speed, the T4 setup has completely opened up the mid range and top end, and it doesnt seem like I have lost a bit off the bottom. Almost to the same difference as my tired HPOP did for the top end vs when I got a T500 that could hang in there that much better (with stock injectors). As Ty pointed out earlier, its likely I could have felt some of that by opening up my gate ( I had wound it in 6 turns like everyone used to say to do with hybrids ). But I didnt have my dual boost gauge yet to measure the boost:backpressure yet. Im not upset I didnt try it, because I got most of my money back out of it. And to top ALL of the performance gains. Its quiet. The cab of the truck is peaceful again. So its hard not to brag about how well it works. And again, this is all based off of our "reference" aka the 38R (the defacto standard of 7.3 performance) we had before. For those who have similar experiences, we want to share the benefits they should experience. [/QUOTE]
