Ok, now that EDM nozzles are back in the spotlight on these forums, I will ask my question. You can see what I have in my sig. If I went from my DD3's to say a Mach 5 set, how badly would that affect towing? To be specific, I don't tow very often, maybe a couple times a year, and even then it isn't too heavy. My dad has a 4x4 Toyota pickup that we tow with my truck to go hunting in, and fully loaded, I am guessing his Toy weighs in the neighborhood of 4 - 5000 pounds, max of 6K I'd think. When I tow his truck, and mine is bed level full as well, I see EGTs as high as 1100* even going up slight grades at 70 MPH, Comp on 2x3. Whereas my normal EGTs on the same roads is usually 900* or less. Obviously towing increases EGTs and 1100* isn't dangerous, but like I said, this is up slight grades, like 4%. To be specific, my parents live in the southern California Mojave desert, and to go anywhere, we startout on highway 15 and go through Las Vegas, and those are the roads I am referring to.
Now, on some trips through Utah, Colorado, etc. , we might easily see much steeper grades than 4%, and I don't want to have to drop down to 5th or even 4th gear so I don't melt things...
I do not [yet] have my head/block O-ringed either, and my HX40 is bone stock, not a PDR or KwikKurt modified HX40. I know a modded -40 would also make a significant difference, but if I'm gonna spend $$ on a new turbo, it ain't gonna be another puny little -40... .
Of course, I would likely keep my DD3's, and I could just change out the EDMs when I need to tow...oh well, tis only money.

Its kind of a moot point, as the stocker clutch won't hold either combination, but the DD2s and EZ would probably give you a 140HP boost... ...

NOT SO, SHEEP BOY!!
I am running that very combination (EZ and DD2) and my stocker is holding nicely. I have 12K miles on the combo.

#@$%! Sheep boy, huh?
Maybe you should drive more than 40 mph :-laf :-laf
Seriously though, we have seen some clutches that hold out better than others. If the truck sees mostly highway driving, is _never_ powershifted, and never rode when backing, they'll hold up for quite awhile. My own 01 stocker had 350 HP to it for better than a year before it let go, and it only let go when I was trying to drag myself out of a 4 foot deep snowdrift.
300 BHP is a pretty good rule of thumb for these clutches though.
