Default is this good for towing?

I am looking at a truck to buy for pulling my 5th wheel 15k. Its currently running high output injection pump, fass fuel pump, banks intake elbow, 3 piece exhast manifold, hi tech 64mm over both warner s475, 250 ccp injectors, edge comp with race unlock. Connected to a 5 speed. I need some feedback on towing with this truck and what's an estimated power output? I understand there is alot of variables for output. Just give me a good guess
