Who's gonna tow with 700HP?

Even the OTR rigs don't use that... big HP for fun/competition, sure.

Can't take adjustment of the loose nut behind the steering wheel out of the equation.

My trigger finger IS my safety, and my right foot controls EGTs...

Very good point, but for ME I know I need to turn mine down cause just as soon as I take off with a trailer and have my truck set on kill somebody is gona try me and Im gona have to stand on it.

For those with more self control then I, that is a good idea but even (for instance) pulling a hill, I will down shift but there is gona be a point where you gota decide if you are gona keep downshifting and keep slowing down OR give it some more go pedal.

It is like a lot of things when it comes to what a truck can and can not take, the biggest decideing factor is behind the wheel.

I just googled garret turbos and it took me to their home page, follow the directions and you can find a dealer closest to you.

We've been through that one before.

Yours might spool faster, but are they commercially available yet for a "reasonable" price?

Available, yes. Reasonable is a matter of perspective.

They look nice...I have seen um. LOL

There needs to be a SERIOUS radiator/water pump/cooling system upgrade to tow much above 500 hp.
