Go to Youtube and search LWATSON billet s475 its a run from 0-90. I didn't power brake, just stabbed the pedal from a dead stand still. You see a pause at about 2000 rpms, this is when the charger lights, this is also when the tires break loose if its in 2wd.
Mine surprised the hell out of me the first drive I took it for a spin after I finished the install.
The only time I have to do anything different because of the big charger is when I pull out to pass. I drop it in manual so I can downshift to 5th or 4th to keep it from blacking out the road. A truck with a 5 speed would hardly ever be a problem but 6 th gear is too tall to pass with running 50 mph with my charger.
I just towed 8-9 k with my S475 friday and could tow in 5th and only had to drop to 4th on a few hills. 14k is probably going to be a little heavy for a big single, doable on occasion with no problems but not good if you tow heavy often
I towed about 10k with the cruise at 70 mph and it never downshifted for any hills. It was a little gutless down low unless you really got on the throttle. Overall its not too bad IMO
Yeah thats the only time I ever noticed anything with my charger.. I don't have the tap shift but I wish I did.. If my converter is locked up doing 50-55 and I need to pass I will just blip the throttle real quick to downshift then I dont black the road out and she spools right up. Hooked to a sled the other day and had a kid come up afterwards and he was asking if I had twins because he couldnt believe how quick my truck spooled. Said the 66mm on his cummins is a laggy pig :rofl:
