I want more power. but I want to keep my truck a good daily driver and still be able to tow well. what kind of setups do you guys suggest??? I have been pondering upgrades like cam shaft, turbo, injectors, etc. combo deals from DAP seem great they mention in there deal with 150hp injectors and a 62 phatshaft that you can still tow well with this setup. what do you guys think? I want to do a cam as well, the big stick. your thoughts??

 

I would stick with 100hp injectors and a 62mm turbo if you tow much. 150s can get hot quick with just a 62mm turbo

turbo/injector selection will depend on a lot of things:
Intended use
axle ratio,
auto or manual, if auto... type of converter
elevation
tire size
terrain
and more

 

so eventually I plan on having a 3 inch leveling kit with 35" tires. nothing to wild. I am more of a recreational tower. some farming and towing toys. I live on the coast of BC Canada. so higher elevation is and can be a factor while towing, one minute your on a mountain then the other minute your at sea level. I have a NV5600 tranny with stock clutch, as for terrain mostly on road, occasional snow. not going to be mudding the truck or anything. I am not sure of the ratio of the axel. hope that answers some questions guys. thanks for the feedback so far

also any info on compound setups from you guys would be great. there a little out of my price range, but I could work towards them. thanks guys

 

How about an aurora 3000 single or industrial 62 they are both good towing turbos and spool quick for cruising. Im getting the 3000 since my dads is working great for him. Plus the 3000 is a ball bearing turbo....

 

Aurora 3000 is not a ball bearing turbo. It is nearly equal to a super b turbo, but not wategated.

 

Im runnin 150's with my edge and stock hx35 with 5in straight pipe. Gets a little warm but nothing I cant handle. Had 12k behind it pulling some hills and saw 1200 a little bit. A little easier to manage with a 6 speed. Savin up for a new turbo as we speak.

 

I could hit 1500 in my 01 6spd with stock turbo, stock injectors with just a Quadzilla.

My 2002 4X4 w Edge Juice W/ Attitude Grossed out at over 22K on a 1500 Mi trip and had no problems and that was with a gear vender overdrive and 3.54 gears. I hardly saw 1000 even driving through the mountains.
