As explained above...NOBODY tows at WOT. I built the tune to make power on the street...if it needs tweaking to keep the EGT's under control...then so be it.
His turbo, injector and tuning choice will allow his to tow all day with a truck that makes over 600hp all day long. Its a simple fueling adjustment (if needed) to pull fuel back when under HEAVY load to bring the temps down (IF THEY ARE HIGH).

He may not be at WOT all day long, but give him a 14,000 pound trailer and an 8% grade and he needs 400 HP to maintain 60 MPH. Throw in a headwind and you are at 450 HP. Can it run there without EGT issues ?
Thanks !
BTW: I think what you are doing is awesome and the fact you can get so much power while being smokeless is double awesome. Great work and thanks for sharing.
Yes...the turbo map is favorable to towing heavy and keeping temps cool. My interpretation of cool is 1250-1300*@40psi
Alot of how something tows is on the drivers seat....foot control, gear control etc...I can tow 14,000 with my 66mm if I want, I'd just need to adapt my driving style to be conducive to what I am doing.

Les,
If I hitch up 8 regular reindeer and one with a rednose and put one fat bastard in a sleigh going over the Himalayas with ALL THE TOYS IN THE WORLD, which reindeer would run out of breath first?
Now, lets make it 10 reindeer and lets go a little faster, now which reindeer runs out of breath first?
Do you use the turbo map or do you use boost as a limiter ? Or both ?Yes...the turbo map is favorable to towing heavy and keeping temps cool. My interpretation of cool is 1250-1300*@40psi
What kind of boost can you get with the VGT (with decent timing) at 1700 RPM ?
I cannot wait to start tuning my 6.7 !
Thanks !

I didn't get the reindeer analogy. Just saying.
