Sorry Chris if I came off like a smart ass I was trying to say the same.

No, no problem...no harm, no foul...my feelings won't get hurt on the internets

I do more and heavier towing than most people on forums, so I always kinda play it safe when guys say they tow. Towing to me is a 30' trailer that empty weighs in over 16K for the truck and trailer...not a 5K lb camper, or a little bumper pull trailer with a jeep on it.

Fun is tieing into a big chisel, or grain cart that weighs between 15-20K with no brakes...just rolling weight that want to keep rolling:hehe: :hehe:

[apocalypse1812]

No, My Uncle Lives in Pontotoc, and my Grandmother has a house in Mason. and everytime I have ever gone hunting I would go out there, as well as whenever I go on Leave to Tx.

We just did a septic system in Pontotoc for the vineyard.

So.... any updates on how the build is goin? Did you settle on a set of twins? or are you still lookin?

 

[stimo]

I have a set in mind now. I was talking to a fella just this last weekend that was running around 550-600hp in his truck with a twin setup. But he also has a 12 valve not 24. I'll have to get back with ya on the turbos because I don't remember exactly what they were. It was a rough nite that nite. LOL

 

[01silver bullet]

I think as far as turbos go towing, you sould run a 62/71/13 over a s475, with some mach 5s and you should be pretty close to 600 hp, may need mach 6s to be over 600 but it wont tow as nice...
