I'm new to all this and still trying to figure it out. From what I have gathered so far it seems to me that even though you can make big HP and TQ numbers, you may not be able to use it if towing heavy loads due to excessive EGT's. Is this correct? For heavy towing, is it better to have a mild to medium build than an all out BOMBer? Are the people with the wildest builds basically using their trucks as sports cars, towing little but going fast?
I am also at a loss to understandnthe HP ratings on various items. Injectors are rated at 180, 185, 190, etc. , except evryone seems to be making much more. Is this strictly due to pump mods and turbo changes? Are the factory HP and TQ numbers flywheel or rear wheel numbers? I looked at the Banks Systems last night and it seems their bolt on systems are not making the numbers that a lot of you guys are.
Sorry guys. I gots lots of questions. Lots of catching up to do.
