TWINS ABSOLUTELY ROCK for Towing

I have never 'really' tested my twins for towing. This last couple of weeks I drove 3000 miles from Chicago to Florida and back. It was an almost too good to be true. I truck ran so cool, in fact it was hard to get the EGT's to go over 1000 degrees. I turned down the external wastegate so the big turbo would take more of the load. I ran about 30 t0 40 psi most of the trip. There were times on medium hill that I pulled 35 psi and 850 degrees. My approximate weight was 17,000 pounds. I am so happy with the twins I wish I had them sooner.
