thought i would post this in towing forum.

i like to see towing pics,so thought i would post. ve pump tows very well set up right. my injectors are 5x13 or 5x14, not sure wich,get them used. flow more than 5x12,s and pods. trailer wt is 6000lbs, truck is 11000lbs. ive towed more but not often. most of my towing is in mountains, 4800 ft to about 8000. towed as hi as 10,000 ft. this trip was pretty flat. in 5th on a slight grade passing a car egts got about to 1200. i rotate my fuel pin(cone) to shallower side when towing heavy. dynoed at 331 with this setting. on acceleration egts arent a problem. he-351 tows well. i used to ron pods and an hx. worked well too. these stixs run a little hotter than pods. i usually only tow 6000 to 8000 lbs. a load this size is no problem on the flat but in the hills i drop to 4th, keep rpms up its ok. if i worked it in hills this heavy all the time i would go smaller on injectors. 06 intercooler helps alot too. i think afc tuning helps alot when towing with big stixs. or a valet switch.
