Horsepower gains?

[swathdiver]

Time for a Duramax diesel rig with the Allison Transmission. Absolutely the best towing rig I ever owned.

I miss my '88 F-SuperDuty with 7.3 International, ZF 5-Speed Manual and Dana 80 with 5.13 gears.

Yes u r right, but we all can’t afford a duramax.

I can't afford one either unless I found a nice used one. I don't tow anything so it is not needed.

Towed a 53' enclosed trailer with 2 Lambos with that setup in a Silverado, we drove from Nj to Cali. That baby didn't even breathe hard! Awesome setup!

my 97 has intake shorties and basically a muffler swap. 265 70 17s and im not sure on the gearing. ive towed an 04 f150 i think it came in at 5900lbs or something. it did a pretty good job there but again not sure on the gearing.

Intake = bad idea (no real gains, just a lot of hot air)
Headers and exhaust = good idea (nearly any vehicle will benefit from this)
PCM tune = good idea (nearly any vehicle will benefit from this)

Maybe the exhaust and tune together would make a noticeable difference.

Regearing the truck is the most straightforward way to solve your problem.

How far/often are you towing your boat?
