Yessir
fine line there Nick.. seein that you seem to follow my BOMB plan to a T with better results than what I get (i need to redyno again see where im at before the "magic" gets done to the truck)
Can you tow heavy with twins? absolutely. You have seen what i load my truck with on occasion:doh: But what kills you and makes EGTS hard to bring down is too much fuel early on, unless you can get the chargers to light early on and keep boost in the optimum RPM range. (16.5 is such a fine timing for that with rips twins :woohoo
this brings my current goal to have a 600-650 horse truck that i can tow with AND use a VALET switch to do so.... I sincerely doubt that you can have very much over 600-650 horses and tow, and even with a valet i see it being very difficult to do so. I possibly see a helix cam in my future as well as some kick ass headwork...
You cannot have your cake and eat it too with a 12V. I suppose if i shoot for 700 on fuel alone, my street/towing setup will be too laggy and even on valet mode the truck will be laggy as can be... with the higher timing needed and larger chargers... Add water or nitrous tho, and bets are off.. IMHO
Thus the advantage of the CR/VP engines.
Bottom line, i just want to build a respectable power 12V (old skool
) and still have the tow rig that this truck was originally designed to be... Thus my compromise build to have the best of both worlds...
