Just got all setup. Truck was a night and day difference pulling a fully loaded camper and 18ft boat, with butts in all 5 seats! Why the heck did I not do this sooner???!?!?!?Nero hasn't responded yet, that means he's either crying or calling the police.
On one of the longest steepest grades, my EGT's reached a solid 1100°f I backed out of it and it quickly dropped down to 900°f, seemed like 900 was the regular number when pulling most grades though, just cruising it was floating between 600 and 700. Boost built as needed, did see 8psi on occasion, but mostly 3-5psi.
During that steep hill my coolant did get to 230°f, and as I backed out of it, it did drop to 220, seemed like under boost it would creep to 220, but flat lands it would go to 195°f.
Overall, I'm impressed, was able to either maintain speed, or, as a first, accelerate up a hill!
Anyhow... @Jesus Freak not gonna lie your intake isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I'd be fine running something similar.
I have yet to pop my hood and see how my pvc is doing, problem for tomorrow. It's about 100°f outside, and my ac quit working in the cab, so I'm gonna go hop back in the lake.
