[QUOTE="KCTurbos, post: 1378599, member: 13852"] I got a little towing time in over the long weekend. I was only pulling a small trailer with a few quads on it but I did go up the mountains to about 7000 feet in elevation. Trailer and quads probably came in at around 3000-5000lbs On the way up I loaded up a "specific" non-vgt towing tune setup for my truck. It was very interesting. EGTs kept VERY cool but the truck had very little power, I was afraid to try passing anyone for fear that I would not make it around them fast enough. It seemed like the tune unlocked the tq converter anytime I went above 1/4 throttle. I ended up pulling the hills about 3/4 to full throttle in 5th at 2800rpms with the tq converter unlocked. That caused the tranny to get a little hot, felt like it had no power... BUT... I never even broke 1000egts the whole time even when trying. They had the fuel pulled way back. At WOT I was at less than 1.0ms of pulse width. Tranny was always hunting for gears trying to stay above 2800rpms even under minimal throttle. I was not super impressed with the tune because it felt weak and did not fit my driving style, but it got the job done. If I tried pulling a heavy load like 10-15k then I doubt it would maintain speed going up the hills, but it would never have an egt problem. I took a video of this tune to show what it was like... definitely different. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XftlWKsJv4[/url] On the way back I loaded up one of my favorite tow tune (works both for vgt and non-vgt). Truck still did well. I had no problems maintaining speed, could easily pass people, and kept egts under control. I usually went up the hills at 65mph in OD with the converter locked at 2500rpms. Towed basically just like the KC stage 3. The only difference was the stage 3 "can" tow under 1800-2000rpms with boost but it would just get hot. S364.5 struggled to do anything under 1800rpms and would just have to downshift. I don't usually tow at that low of rpms with either turbo, I just just like seeing what they could do. [/QUOTE]
