s472, can i tow heavy?

[Righteyeblind]

Wow even with 37's! I really would hate it then. If you can't stay over 2300 rpm then it is t worth it. Puke half your fuel out of your exhaust, egts through the roof, barking all over the place. I had mine for one tow before I decided to go with Trent twins and my load is only 10k. I would save the money for twins and then you will be happy

I could definitely see 37's and stock gearing making it a lot harder.

I think twins and later down the road re-gearing would be the best option for ya.

So James, hows that S472 working for you? :rofl:

 

[Chevy1925]

[whitetrash21]

Yeah, thanks for the obvious. I looked at the date before I posted. Just wondering if he actually switched. Since Hondarider asked. Did know if he was serious or f@ckin around.

Lol

Pretty sure most ppl would be less inclined to go from twins to single than vice versa

.... but i have been wrong before.

Thats what I thought as well. :thumb:

 

[Chevy1925]

Lol yeah i wound up gettin a great deal from trent on twins and went that route long ago. I REALLY dont think the 472 would be any fun towing my 12k toy hauler with 37s. I can be cruising the freeway at 60mph at 1500rpm, roll into the trottle and already have boost coming on. By 1700rpm its really movin lol

when i do that, smoke goes everywhere for about 5 seconds :dontknow::beavisnbutthead:

 

[Chevy1925]

thats so weird!?!?!

 

[hondarider552]

Smoke?! Whats smoke?!

 

[Harbin_22]

Smoke?! Whats smoke?!

X2?

I really have to try hard to get it smoke. Unless I get playing with the lock up box in taller gears

My tow tune does that on the stock turbo...with the kill tune, forget being polite to those behind you. I need another turbo... or 2

With stock tuning my truck doesn't blow smoke...but merging on to the hwy on the hot tune gets hard in overdrive. I'm better off hitting the ramp WOT lol

I dont get full fueling till like 25--2600rpm's so even my "649hp" tune does not smoke. Obviously I can black out half of California from a dead stop, so I guess it does... :spit:

Lol same. Having 38" tires and 3.73's doesn't help though

 

[Chevy1925]

I know you can tune the smoke out, thats not my biggest issue. Its the lag before i get power. I like luggin the truck in 5th while towing and never really needing to down shift at a decent hill. With a 472, im afraid id have to be kickin down to 4th alot just to keep boost and power up. Not something i like
