Is this Normal.. ie: good bad or average

I just installed all of the mods in profile.. Stock tranny and exhaust for now.

I just came back to Delaware from indiana this weekend towing 10,000 lb trailer.

Coming across the mountain on I76 (last hill where ears pop) I had to turn the box up to 4 to maintain 68mph going up hill, s EGT's steady @ 1200.

I'd say you're doing OK but loosen up you're exhaust.

JBirney,

Valkyrie97 is right all you need to do now is free up the exhaust and the egts will drop some more so you can use all of that new power at all times. Call us if you need info.

Straight pipe it, EGTs will drop, and it sounds much better.

[/quote]I think you are about normal considering the altitude and weight you are pulling. I wouldn't expect you to need that much box, though. You should be able to pull that grade w/just injectors, ESPECIALLY since you have the dodgezilla turbo.

What was your boost number? How high is the elevation? Only then can I really answer if something appears wrong to me.
