I have been mainly using my truck as a weekend warrior doing some drag racing and killing a few mustangs/corvettes when they want to play. How ever, this weekend I used it to tow my trail rig and 2 RZR's to Harlan KY for some fun! It was a 5 1/2hr drive each way with 2 1/2hrs being on back roads where the speed limit was 55-60, with a lot of curves and a few 6% grades. Over all I am happy with the way it performed! When I pulled at 70 MPH and with out the water on and up the hills on I-40 the EGTs ran up to about 1300 and stopped and the boost was right about 14psi, with the water on I was able to keep them down to a max of 1150 at the same speed. At 55-60 MPH it would lug and heat up some but after I down shifted out of OD it would cool back down and maintain speed without an issue on any hill I was on.
All in all it was a great trip! I have just as much fun driving to the trail as I have when I get there. for those that cant see signatures I am running an S468, 350/200 Full Force injectors, BTS Trans, Stealth HPOP, Electric Fuel, superduty intercooler, 3:55 gears and for this trip I was running Gearheads tow tune, and sometimes the "street" tune just for fun. We had a great time!!
For those that are interested, my rig was the explorer. Ended up tearing a side wall in the Lions Den, then breaking a chromo Warn outer just a few feet farther! Some body damage, but nothing real bad!
