Best twins setup

Alright, looked into this quite a bit awhile back but have been busy and kinda leaving the truck alone, but Im starting to get the itch again. So, my question is, what is everyone's opinion on the best twins setup for daily driver with lots of towing. I tow quite a bit, everything from horsetrailers, to boats, hay, skid steer, tractor etc. Anywhere from 2-20plus thousand pounds. I'm most likely gonna go with F1 120hp injectors, and would like the best setup for quick spool up, good boost, and low egts while towing. Looking to be around 600hp. Let me know what yall think. Any help and ideas are appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. this is for the 06 dually in my sig

If all you want is 600 you dont need anything bigger than 90 h/p injectors and id look into a stockr over 475

i second the stocker over the s475 or s400, another option is the arctic air twins from relentless diesel. I think that is the setup i will be going with.

For towing and all around driving.. I will 3rd the Stocker over an S475..

Good friend of mine has this setup and LOVES it....

He raced it last night and tows regularly too....

Here a couple vids of his truck and setup...

I like this setup too for you're level... The little bigger turbo on top (secondary) will be better if you ever wanna go up a bit from 600...And will still spool great...

Ok thanks y'all I appreciate it. That's what I was originally thinking was stocker over s400. Whats the difference in the s475? Is mpi still the best way to go for this setup? Anybody know bout what it runs? The only reason I was thinking 120hp injectors is cause I know I won't be able to stop at 600 and will eventually probably want some more. But might just start with 90s

I've dynoed 668hp 1205tq with my wicked diesels stocker/s474, 120hp injectors, stage 3 cp3, and smarty tnt/r. My EGT's are awesome with the 120's so I would reccomend them over the 90's

Garrett BB twins.. GTX3582/GTX4294, with an external gate on the GTX3582 would be a supreme towing setup.. The Stage 2 Powermax would also make a great top turbo!

How much power can a guy run before loosing it's daily driver capabilities still being able to pull? Also when you get 600hp and higher with bigger injectors what is your mpg like? I'm toying around the idea of doing something as stated above

Save that money.
My stock IC is doing just fine at 70+psi with twins and 850hp.

Not saying the aftermarket ones dont make a bit of dif., just saying that lofs of high hp guys still use stock without issue.

I ended up with a Banks got it used for a good $. It was one of my attempts to cool the egts before twins. It did not drop them just took a little longer to get hot. I think you can make the power you want with the stock one
