Recently I became the owner of a 26' gooseneck flatbed trailer. Its awesome having such a piece of equipment. I can haul multiple pallets of pellets home from the store at once, haul the tractor around for side jobs etc. The heaviest load I have towed is 4 tons of pellets for our pellet stoves in our home. 8K pounds plus my truck that weighs 7100 plus the trailer I'm guessing is around 2,500 or so. Just rounding up to 18K pounds...my truck did "OK" up the grades. Steepest grade to pull going home was 5% for 2 miles. Started out at 65mph at the bottom and was barely doing 35 at the top. If I go with twin turbos it would purely and solely be for the added power for towing, I tow barely enough to notice the need for twins. The main point of this post is to determine whether or not I actually should get twins. Is it worth it? Will I loose my longevity? Pros & Cons? What I don't want to have to do: *Replace the head gasket with some special one *get crazy stiff valve springs *change the tappets *aftermarket intercooler *Go over 600 horse What I'm willing to do: *go up to 150 HP injectors *Install ARP 425s *Install mildly stiff valve springs *spend the $$$ needed to PROPERLY get my truck compound turbos. *Use my HX 35 as the small turbo Thanks for reading and I'll check back in a couple days for replies.
