Throw an EZ on there with some 275 injectors and you'll not only gain about 100hp, but also another 1-2mpg. Get gauges on there first though.

I would guess my power around the 375-400 # and pulled a local hill we have thats 7% for 18km with a #3800 slide-in and a 4500 tag last month.
Cruise @ 115km (65-70mph)
Comp on 3x3
locked in od
Pyro @1200 (except where i sped-up to 140 to pass it went to 1275)
Engine temp was stable
Trans temp climbed 15 degrees so I think the converter was slipping a little even though the rpm remaind constant at 1825
On cruise the truck didnt even care about the hill, I could literally walk away from most of the cars on the hill and not even down shift. I cant imagine needing any more power for towing and twins let you use it.

I really cant tell you the price I payed(somewhere between my first born and my soul LOL) but a call to Piers will give you more info than I can anyway. I installed it myself and used my stock charger for the top turbo and that was a fair savings.
As far as set-up goes if your handy with hand tools its a DIY job however be prepared to spend a good weekend on it. No real set-up just bolt it together and be nice to the new turbo for a bit. I know there are many other vendors that sell twins for our trucks but I can only comment on Piers set as I have had no personal experience with the others but would imagine them all to give the same amount of to your truck.
