Shouldn't be an issue with 40hp tips. Also installing a boost elbow set to 32 psi max will help keep the EGT's down.

Your gonna run hot EGTwise with upgraded tips without a tune. Normal around town is ok, but tow anything and your gonna get hot quick. You also won't notice much of a difference powerwise without a tuner to utilize the added flow of the injectors. I know injectors are expensive, but if you can add a Smarty Jr it'll help a ton. I tow a 40' 5th wheel at 12,000lbs with the truck in my sig. and I have no issues. Good Luck!
