Message: [QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 56052, member: 25"] OMG. You people have no idea of how compound turbo charging works. Is a properly designed setup going to add a little time to say getting under the passenger valve cover - sure is no doubt - but how often are you going under the valve covers of your daily driver tow vehicle and why? If your setting up a truck to have compounds - serviceability should be taken into account - I have looked at and worked on several compounded V8 trucks - some were a nightmare - some were OK to work on - and some... well they could go from being a single to compounds in 15 minutes while in the pits in between rounds at the sled pulling track and it only took that long because it was hot. I would have no issues building a compound kit for a DD/ tow truck - it would include features that would make most of the service on the truck easy. In fact I have a new tow truck in my future plans - it will likely be a compound turbo'd 7.3 - I plan on putting it together with a stock bottom end, big oil, 300/200s or so, and something with at least 88mm forcing air down its throat. I expect it to respond and be maintained no differently than my current DD/ tow truck. [/QUOTE]
