what is a good package
i have been wondering where to go without trying things out. i will do a valve body and torgue converter. and i am swithching to the scotty2. injectors have me boogled should i just run rv275s. i dont plan on getting over 400 hp and i do plan on pulling a 5th wheel in the future. i see that most sites say you cant tow with injectors over 80hp does this mean i cant tow with a modified truck that produes 4 or 500 hp? any combo ideas will be appreciated

I almost forgot,
You need the 6' exhaust, the new Quad turbo set-up, bore and stroke the block to 900 cubic inches, use the tranny doubler, get a new kanoiter valve and then you can tow with whatever injectors you want!!!

The Hp numbers get confusing when you tow. Most people that have trucks that make 350 or more RWHP usually do not tow with their foot on the floor. Towing with high Hp is a balancing act between fuel and air, the more fuel used in towing the more air you need to keep the engine from melting down. bigger turbos, twin turbos. Then you have to start watching out for head gaskets and on and on. You can build a 700 Hp truck and tow with it but you will not be using all 700 ponies, not for long if you do, something will break somewhere.
Stage II or edm 2.4's would work o.k. with your EZ but keep an eye on your EGT gauge especially when towing at higher elevations. Even with that you probably will not be over 350 rwhp unless you have a really strong running truck to begin with.
Unless you go higher than 400 Hp you do not need anything bigger than a 4' exhaust. Too big of an exhaust with lower Hp has actually = a loss in Hp.

I'm in the process of building a 5th wheel hauler now. I've got a Suncoast tranny, Edge EZ, BHAF, high flow banjos, 4" turbo back and it tows great If everything goes right I’m going over to Timinvas and putting in Don Ms EDM Mach 1.5s and Turbo Master which should make it tow even better. I think I have everything balanced out so I won't have to go to a bigger turbo or have to worry about a meltdown.
