I know this is a dead horse but i need input from anyone that has experience. My current setup is HX35/ht3b, Edge juice (HOT) WAM, JL Machining 240hp injectors, Haisley head gasket with fire rings, ARP studs, 6 spd, SBC 3600 DD , 3.54 ratio. I think I have enough supporting mods for everything I have but I know the JL's are way to big for towing. I can easily stab 1500 in the back in about 3 seconds when I get on the juice. I have towed with this setup some but really have to be on top of it. I been there and done that and now I just want "usability" so I am fixin to order some new injectors from Jacob(diesel auto power) he seems to have some good prices. I have decided to try 150's but I want to know if they will be small enough to keep my foot in it while towing. Some say 175's will be fine but I dont want to do this twice. I'm also considering 125's. just looking for input from anyone that has experience with this. Thanks

I am acquiring parts for something similar. Doing 150’s, studs, my HX35 over a S475, a DD clutch and water meth. Hopefully this setup will get the 41 foot Raptor through the mountains without much trouble.

man that guy is nice/helpful.

I got a msg back everytime within 24 hours ......... and even an invoice PDF this morning .........

what size did you end up getting?

I have a little experience towing things. I think towing distances requires two things: 1. Reliability 2. Fuel mileage. As far as reliabity goes the less power you make the easier on the motor you are. I myself try to balance between enough power to not have to downshift much and how long I want my tranny to last. Fuel mileage is also a big concern if you are getting paid to drive. A 3000 miles cross country trip can cost $900 at 10 mpg and $750 at 12 mpg. It's easy to see that less can be more. I currently have 100's in my truck. I think they get a little less mileage than my 75's did but they get up to sped faster and they pull the hills a lot better. I would be afraid to have a bigger injector than I have. I actually think I might have too big of an injector because I prefer fuel mileage over not having to downshift.

What kinda of mileage are you getting?

what size did you end up getting?

+75hp

It is probably going to be spring before I have everything together. That's just in time for it to be nice enough to work on it though. I will post something when I get it all together.
