Hoping a tag will get a notification to your email and you might wanna reply

I know you did a fair amount of towing with this setup...did you ever monitor EGT?
If so...what were typical ranges you'd see when loaded and pulling a decent grade?

EGT on Gas towing can get on up there pretty warm.

Im building a truck with EGT probe pre turbo to get some better numbers under heavy loads with a turbo 416 in a 2500HD.

hey I’m still here.

turbo truck towing. I never logged egt. Any hill climb w my race car on the trailer was only at most 1/4 mile. We don’t have huge sweeping hills here in WNY. I never had to give it gas to tow, the truck did very well out of boost. Plus I don’t tow fast, always in the slow lane w the cruise on at 65mph.
