Compounds vs single for reliability?

[QUOTE="powerstroked08, post: 1269278, member: 8135"] I agree with its 80% how you treat the truck. And the single has to be setup for how your going to use the truck. They are not as "forgiving" with towing heavy on monday and racing on friday. This is just my opinion on it because you really want a small single for towing and just daily driving to keep it from being hot, smokey, and laggy. This doesn't mean that every single is laggy or smokey. But one thats improperly sized(too large) will not be fun to dd or haul with. But a large single will be a blast at the track just ask Corselli! Now I think compounds are nice because you can go quite large with them and not lose any of the quick response(again a smaller single can light just as quick, and a larger one can with some help from a looser torque converter but thats another topic) and it has a flatter power curve. Now there are some guys running larger singles with good street manners but it does take some careful tuning to achieve that. Another argument is that singles don't make the low end torque like compounds do. And that's easier on the rods. Also the back pressure is lower with a single. So i guess each setup has its good and bad, at the end of the day its going to boil down to your personal preference. Both can run good! [/QUOTE]
