Message: [QUOTE="KCTurbos, post: 1438702, member: 13852"] Towing with a 550-600hp truck is pretty easy with a little common sense Once you start getting into the 600-650 range the setups become harder to tow with. That just means you have to keep your rpms up and possibly unlock the torque converter if the egts start to get hot. I think a lot of it is "education". I still have guys that email me upset that they can't pull a long grade with a 10k loaded behind them and 1500-1600rpms like they used to before??? WTF? Who is trying to pull a long grade with a trailer at 1500rpms? Also it is important to understand that these trucks can handle 1200-1300 egts ALL DAY EVERY DAY as long as you keep your EOT and ECT down. 190/30 and KC stage 2 or s362/363 will put you around 550-600hp. It will tow pretty easy. This turbo combo will tow fine around 1800-2200 on flat ground but you still need to pull the hills around 2500rpms 205/75 and KC stage 3 or S364.5 should put your more into the 600-650 range. But towing will become more of a chore. Watching your EGT gauge, downshifting a lot, and trying to keep your rpms around 2500-2800 when pulling any grade. On flat ground around 1800-2000rpms these turbos can make your egts climb if you are not careful and watching. 250/100 hybrids and s369 or s468 should put you around 650-700hp. Towing is going to be hard. I know a few guys say they tow fine on flat ground, but most of them won't advertise publicly that the only way to pull that off is to stay around 2500-2800 rpms with the tq converter unlocked the most of the time... even then it can run a little toasty.
