oh i dont doubt it. im looking to see where it starts getting hot as a single HP wise. i have not seen anyone push it as a single, tow heavy and report back. for reference, what i posted was a 600rwhp tune and was using alot of that tune to pull the grades that heavy. since he has a built engine, id really be curious how it does on larger tunes.
For the time being stock. But eventually built trans, bigger sticks and a something like a modified 42% CP3... Have PPEI tuning and been pretty happy with it...
Towed about 28k total weight from New Jersey to New Mexico. Aside from a couple of minor truck issues, she towed great. The tune is whatever Mark's #1 tune on the dsp5 was set to. Highest EGT I ever saw was 1325 for a few seconds. It rarely got to 1200. Great power, great sound. I just can't wait to force feed it with another!

How was the low end? Would it lug ok in 5th gear?

It was great all around. I could run 75+ in 5th and maintain it up reasonably long grades in west Texas. On relatively flat ground I could hold speed in 6th. It would keep speed in 6th with some extra throttle, but the EGTs would get up around 1300 pretty quickly, so I usually downshifted to 5th for any grade.

Re-reading some old threads as I contemplate a twin setup again.... thought this was funny though. Little did I know about the absolutely brutal conditions in the SW, Arizona specially. 114* ambient temps and ridiculous grades. WOW. The towing I've down out that way changed my baselines for sure. I'm getting ready to load up in Texas next week and tow back to Vegas... thankfully the ambient temps wont be solar-flare level this time of year.

I’ve never been off l10 through AZ. I don’t recall any big grades, but it was on the warm side. Lol I’ll take it over the job I did in Death Valley excavating around fault lines.

I10 is flat as can be lol. couple short grades in and out of blythe/quartzite, just rolling hills otherwise. now taking any road north out of phx besides the 93 to kingman and it gets interesting. worst is phx to heber. consistent grade climbing up with a few short down hills and long 6% grade up hills. i absolutely f**king hate that drive with anything more than 10k on the back durning the summer, winter its not bad. everything gets hot and there is basically no place driving that lets you cool everything back down unless you pull over and idle for a while. GM and Dodge have been using that section in the summer for testing on cars and trucks for quite a few years now.
Yeah I can contest to that. In the summer it can get upto 116-122 on the hotter days. The hottest ive seen is 130. At that point everything sucks. The lake gets up into the mid to high 90’s and feels like hot bath water and if wind hits your skin it feels like your burning or it’s melting off.... stock lly trans will hit 215-220 unloaded.
