Unless it's untaxed, then it's red.

Video - trailer test with 351cw - WOT up 7% grade

Here what I did on my day off-
I drove up a hill Loaded with a tandem axel oak decked 14' trailer with a New Holland 170 on it. I am running in OD with all the specs in my sig line below. I estimate the total load at 10k lbs.
you can see the effects of heat soak towards the top of the hill
I have to say I'm pleases with the transmission and stock injectors - these beasts were made to pull. The same hill unloaded I only pushed 25 psi. (40 loaded)

Yep. Converter, deep pan, and some screw adjustments. I'm hoping to have it built up in the next year with all goerend internals.
