[QUOTE="Blown09, post: 1052812, member: 78012"] I’m pretty sure all of those other points have been upgraded(minus gearing) on his truck. Displacement will help, but I don’t think it’s going to be as much as you’ll need(for your app), or rather, want to have on tap. A gear change to 4.10’s would help as well, but 1st gear would be pretty useless at wot(unless it’s awd-I can’t recall) at your power level. So it would help towing, but make the truck a bit of a handful everywhere else, and kill mpg a bit more. But, would be the cheaper of the two for sure. Just my opinion, but it might be a good idea to find a cheap-ish dedicated tow rig to use when the need arises, instead of trying to maximize output of a blower engine. Probably spend about the same either way here :/ but you would also be adding another vehicle to the fleet… sooo 🤷🏼♂️ Do you have upgraded cams? My crower Stage1 cams added a very noticeable amount of tq (when it was na). Maybe some cams and 4.10’s are the answer? [/QUOTE]
