hey guys ... how much power can the 24v give for towing without having to worry about melt down .I use the 01 HO 6spd to haul my trailer and would like to give it more poop, but not have to worry in summer time hauling. thanks

Throw an EZ on there with some 275 injectors and you'll not only gain about 100hp, but also another 1-2mpg. Get gauges on there first though.

Twin Turbos help quite a bit

I would guess my power around the 375-400 # and pulled a local hill we have thats 7% for 18km with a #3800 slide-in and a 4500 tag last month.
Cruise @ 115km (65-70mph)
Comp on 3x3
locked in od
Pyro @1200 (except where i sped-up to 140 to pass it went to 1275)
Engine temp was stable
Trans temp climbed 15 degrees so I think the converter was slipping a little even though the rpm remaind constant at 1825
On cruise the truck didnt even care about the hill, I could literally walk away from most of the cars on the hill and not even down shift. I cant imagine needing any more power for towing and twins let you use it.

ratsun what if you dont mind me asking does a twin setup like your cost and did piers set your truck up for you? sounds like your rig pulls real good?

I really cant tell you the price I payed(somewhere between my first born and my soul LOL) but a call to Piers will give you more info than I can anyway. I installed it myself and used my stock charger for the top turbo and that was a fair savings.
As far as set-up goes if your handy with hand tools its a DIY job however be prepared to spend a good weekend on it. No real set-up just bolt it together and be nice to the new turbo for a bit. I know there are many other vendors that sell twins for our trucks but I can only comment on Piers set as I have had no personal experience with the others but would imagine them all to give the same amount of to your truck.
