Single or twins

I had a 475/stock LLY combo and it was a real nice setup, drove beautifully. Went to a 480/366 with cam, heads, injectors, dual CP3, etc.....it drove even better and was much more fun, no comparison.
My built lmm before the motor, I towed 15k+ on my 366 and it didn't skip a beat. Loved the sound that's why I lean towards a 468, can't tow THAT bad
I can't say for sure but I don't regret dropping sizes. The s463 has impressed me so far.
again, its all comes down to your driving and what you mind or dont mind doing. there is no reason you cant make the 468 tow 6-8k, you just will have to down shift more to keep on top of the charger unlike the twin setup where you can leave stock shift points alone. you can make the 468 just as fun as the twin setup as well if you have the right converter and trans shift points/kick down points. Lag drives me nuts and i hate having to kick down gears for minor hills (actually i dont really kick down gears at all unless i get slowed up by traffic even on 6% grades here) so i gave my thoughts. large singles take a bit more to get dialed in and give you the full fun factor.
i kinda feel you are hunting for guys to tell you to run the 468 cause thats what you really want to do.
Get a truck with twins for towing and one with a big single for your toy. Best of both worlds!:roflmao:
Can I hi jack, wondering about twins for my Kodiak and towing. My truck weighs 10,700lbs and I tow 10-12k trailer.
keep it at or under 600hp and the rods wont be your issue. pistons would be my worry with either turbo set.
Just broke a piston on my LBZ @ 225k with stock turbo. Replacing it with an older LBZ that I hope has some LLY pistons in it.
What are the torque numbers everyone is talking about HP, im trying to make more torque also. I pulled my trailer with a 2016 Powerstroke and it did great power wise. Im trying to get into the same or better area with the Kodiak.

If it's a heavy beast and sees mostly tow duty, IMHO I'd either leave a stock charger on there or go with something small like a 66mm stg2 from Danville. I wouldn't add the heat and additional points for possible failure. The 66 should give you the towing you seek but also allow for unloaded shenanigans on the big tunes.
06 LLY code engine is still an LBZ with LBZ pistons.
1200ft lbs seems to be max on lb7-lly rods and 1300ft lbs max on lbz-lmm. this does not take into account for the one weak rod your truck may have or slightly weaker rods compared to the next set.
