Why not just stick what GM engineered? My 2500hd tows like a duramax with the 4l80 and 4:10s, it hardly ever comes out of 4th gear on hills you just feed it the boost

If money is no object then go Whipple for towing.

I have a 2002 2500HD 6.0 4L80 with a ProCharger and Snow Performance water/meth injection. I tow a horse trailer RV, full of water and stuff weighs in at 12,000+lbs.
My truck pulls well, I can top the Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado at 35mph with the trailer. My problem is heat turning 4000-4500 rpm at 3-4lbs boost heats the water and tranny fast.
My truck is very picky about fuel quality, no alcohol allowed. I like to run 95 or better octane.
The ProCharger is fun.
