Towing combo that rocks!

[Rockcrawler]

Some of you may remember a few moths ago I was considering the EZ to compliment my DD1's.



Well I added the EZ, position 2, and a BHAF before leaving on a 20k gross trip across route 40 to SoCal and back. I'm not sure if the BHAF or the EZ gets the low EGT credit but EGT's were awesome, and I still have stock exhaust! Mostly under 1100, occasional 1150 and once I saw 1200. I was often on 1200/1250 with DD1's and boost module grossing 1k less.



Performance on hills was awesome, An occasional big power semi would pass me but if it had six tires or more we were usually buzzing all of them especially brand x duallies. I highly recommend this combo for towing- of course the auto's would need to be beefed to handle it.

Now a set of DD2's and a PDR HX-35 and you can keep up with the large cars.



Big trucks ( 18 wheelers ) go as fast as they can, LARGE CARS ( 18 wheelers ) go as fast as they want to.

Oo. Oo. Oo.

Taylor wing experience?

Shooter- Tell me about your wing and how much you think it helped etc- the headwinds can be killer on I40 (crosswinds too).



With all due respect, my bombing is over for a while- any more and I'm tempting fate with my clutch. I find I can run 8 over the speed limit (My comfort zone with Officer Bob) on all but the biggest hills, accelerate on most hills too and I can live with that. The wing deal or something like it may be worth looking into though.

I agree as I have them same setup as you, but I tow only about half the weight as I can only afford to tow my Jeep on an open trailer. I am able to maintain 60-75 MPH up both sides of Vail Pass, CO with the Jeep in tow (approx. 13,000 GCVW).



Rockcrawler, you ever go to Potuea, OK to four-wheel like over Memorial Day as I am thinking about going down there?

Poteau trip

DH- Poteau is only 1. 5 hrs for me- let me know when you want to come this way and I can set up a small group. Memorial day on Poteau is like the Moab Easter thing- lots to see and do but a parking lot on the trails.



On a side note- I make and sell the kits to rotate the 300 horizontal- you may have figured that out by my sig. The hauler works really well on long trips, my family enjoys it much more and that's a wise investment. We've got quite a bit of tough trails in our area when you want to come this way.



I just read your sig- very similar setup! Your dyno numbers- I asume that is corrected flywheel figures??
