I would probably just get a Radix without too much thought. I tow with a 2500HD 6.0L very heavy and I usually have to pull in 3rd gear, but this is more weight than average im talking. (up to around 12000lbs. cargo on the trailer, not even counting truck and gooseneck trailer) With a heavy truck like yours I think the radix would be in boost at a much lower throttle position than others see. I'm curious how a turbo kit with a properly sized turbo and safe tune would perform. You could roll into boost gradually.

Now I need to get to the track and get some numbers. I think this should be good for a .1-.2 in good weather.

there is no need for a bypass valve switch. the system works as is and is completely transparent, like brian said before you reach 0 vacume the valve is closed. as the load comes on the boost goes up. more load = more boost even if the rpm doesn't change.
it really is a dream to tow with a radix(whipple in my case). i could hit 3 psi in the driveway just my punching the gas pedal quick.
