6.0 building fun daily driver light towing

[Decker]

190/50s and KC stage 3 68mm turbo should be right around 575-625hp with supporting mods. (big tires will lower the numbers). This is an awesome setup for those looking to be able to daily drive the truck and still race/drag/sled on the weekends. THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR TOWING. We do have guys that tow with this type of setup but it becomes difficult. Once you get that big of turbo and injectors your setup will start to run a little hot (750-900egts cruising empty 70mph). Also the turbo will spool fine down low but it will run less efficiently and often leads to slight hazing under light throttle.


190/30s and KC stage 2 64mm turbo should be right around 525-575hp. It will drive awesome on the streets and tow max wight. The power comes on a little sooner with the stage 2 which is ideal for daily driving and towing situations... but it will be tough to hit the 600hp mark.


Stop light to stop light, 0-50mph... stage 2 wins
Track/dyno/sled, 0-100mph... stage 3 wins[/email]

i like the idea of the 190/50s and stage 3. I only really tow few times a year. in the summer to put my boat in the lake and then to pull it out. Its a 25ft mercury that i pull maybe 10 miles. Then in the fall i pull the hunting trailer couldn't weight more then 5k. Besides that don't pull to much.

i don't see to much track time but i live in the city i do a lot of expressway driving to and from work and going up north. So I'm looking for the power going down the road.

i would like to hit the 600 mark. if possible.

ok this maybe a dumb question but why would the stage 2 win the stop light to stop light over the stage 3?


:fustrate: thought i had it figured out what i wanted.

The stage 2 will kick in sooner, run more efficiently down low, and die off sooner... therefore it will be peppeir and cooler down low, but it will lack the top end power of the stage 3.

The stage 3 will take a little longer for the power to come one, run less efficiently down low, but keep on pulling harder up top.



Does that make sense?

Here is a ghetto paint drawing to put in into a dyno graph.

You can see that the stage 2 power will come on sooner and then die off... but the stage 3 turbo will keep on pulling.
