Brandon, If your going to do allot of heavy towing I would definately do the twins or the 366 as a single. If your just towing light, like a bass boat or a utility trailer 8k lbs and under the S475 as a single will work great and also be easier on your bottom end. You can still town very heavy with the S475 as a single but you have to stay on your toes, watch egt's and have a good trans tune to keep rpms up. Its great for daily driving, light towing, playing on the street and drag racing, just not good for frequent heavy towing.
So twins are harder on stock bottom end? I thought it was the other way around due to boost? I'm just wondering because I'm in the same boat as Brandon, do 66/80 on stock bottom end (hate vvts) or another big single.
It really depends on tuning. A big single doesnt light until you up in the rpms which is better on your bottom end. Twins produce lots of bottom end torque which can bend rods easier. If tuned properly the power will come on more linear with twins and the bottom end will be fine. Lots of fuel down low and you'll have a hole in your block with twins.
definitely don't want that haha, I want something that's reliable and fun, but I never know when I'll have to tow..I really love the FPE Compact kit, if it comes out I would have to buy it 
x2 I love my s475, I was very surprised at how good it spools off the line. very minimal lag
Agree if you are not going to tow much. You can't beat a 475 single. Mine drives awesome on the street and makes good power.
I dont have a 475 but my danville 72 works great in my opinion. I tow a 12000 pound 5th wheel with it, I am twinning mine because I would like it light a little quicker while towing, and lets be honest I just want more power at the track.
Yea I was dead set on a 475 after hangin with lwatson just getting last minute jitters and besides I could always pull it and run something else later
they can make great power. my 75 as it sits will support 900+ with the proper fuel. that's pretty impressive for a turbo that has good street manners and you can still tow with!
I think a big single is more fun. I've been in a lot of twin setups and nothing has the hard hit like an s475. I have 22k on mine with it and don't really have any regrets, just wish I had more fuel. lol.
