Turbo & injector suggestions for towing

My sig pretty much sums up my current mods. Would definately like to get more out of her and I'm thinking a set of injectors is the way to go. I realize that I'm already pushing my stock hy-35 to it's limits and in order to add more fuel, I'll most likely need to upgrade to a different turbo. I typically tow around 10,000 lbs, occasionally lighter, occasionally heavier. What turbo/injector combo(s) will net me another 100-150 hp yet still keep the EGT's in check while towing?

throw in a set of rv275's they are dirt cheap and although in the seat of your pants you wont feel a whole heck of extra power, when you tow with them you will surely notice it. Plus you can keep the stock turbo with that set up

275's give a little bump! If budget allows...Mach 1.6's are a real smile maker! Low smoke (for the HP) and designed for towing.

On turbos...your choice! At least a hybrid HX-35/14, like the Dodgezilla! One step up from there, IMHO, is the Phat Shaft 62/14! But it's a big step up, and worth doing if you go with anything bigger than 275 injectors.

JMO as always!

Just saw where your actually looking for 100-150 HP. PS62 and Mach 1.6's will dyno maybe 120 hp!
And if that's as far as you plan on going, HP wise, I would get the PS62/12, instead of the 14 cm2 turbine housing, if available!

RJ,
Would the PS 62/14 be laggy? Or would it "compliment" my current setup nicely?

Not laggy, in my opinion....because of your 6 speed. Towing over 7000# (+/-) with an Automatic is a "whole nother country". Much harder to keep the rpm's up (with the auto) and there is a hugh gap between 3rd and Overdrive.

But if you are not reving up to 2500+ rpm before each shift...you would have to get use to something like that for good air....a scenario you already may have expirienced with your new injectors??
I see some guys shift like that all the time while others get in the habit of shifting much lower, around 2000 rpm. Really depends on your driving stye...as I see it.
