Towing with a 671whp Turbo 6.0L 2500hd

[@dommeister4004]

I put a 3k precision vigilante convertor in my 08 z71 that we put a cam in and I’ve pulled my 16ft tandem trailer with my zd331 and my can am with it and it’s done flawless. I’ve often wondered how a turbo would do on the truck and this confirms it for me

[@Bolthrower91]

Did it improve fuel efficiency

[@algie3673]

Sounds pretty good

[@JohnnyAnderson1]

Nice, looks like it starts getting into boost around 2700 or so with that big boy.

[@matthewjohnston2366]

heck ya! ive been waiting for this one!

[@whatchis1120]

Sounds good, must do 10 foot to the gallon. Nah it probably ain’t bad just cruising.

[@MPKPerformance]

Keep your foot in it and get single digits lol.

[@MPKPerformance]

Just filled up, and got 10.5 mpg on that tow.

[@tquills2437]

Do you have to run 93oct or can you tune for 87 and still tow? Debating turboing my 06 2500 or selling for a diesel

[@MPKPerformance]

You can tune it for 87.

[@robertmontalvo597]

Can you make a video and show which Holley Hydra Matt you use. And how you attach it to the stock bucket with upgraded fuel please

[@robertmontalvo597]

Thank you so much.

[@Red-b1r8i]

What all did you do to make those hp numbers? I have a stock 6.0 and I want to make around 500hp or so. So much you can do with these trucks.

[@MPKPerformance]

There's a few videos on this setup. It's a turbo 6.0L.

[@zacharymelvin3487]

Nvm I I missed that you mentioned it

[@adrianlaverick8040]

What are the IATs while towing?

[@zacharymelvin3487]

What yiu think of the eBay hit side kit. It’s going on my Yukon cheap build like 6 pounds s366 turbo

[@MPKPerformance]

If it uses the log style manifold, it shouldn't be too bad.

[@zacharymelvin3487]

It the 38mm waste gaite that comes in the cross over ok to use on the low boost set up I’m going with

[@MPKPerformance]

I run a 44mm.

[@zacharymelvin3487]

So they make 38m to 44mm adapters that should be okay right

[@perryburkhart4850]

⁠@@zacharymelvin3487there’s a bolt on or vband design, there’s no “adapters” …..

[@moabman6803]

What afr are you at on cruising boost?

[@MPKPerformance]

Cruise afr is around 14.7, in boost it’s around 11.5. This is on pump 93.

[@SF-fm7ov]

I was thinking of putting a turbo on a 6.0L to haul my 8,500 TT in the Colorado Rockies. How much do you think that would cost and is it a good move?

[@MPKPerformance]

I certainly think it would be a good move as it would really increase the torque to help with the towing. I would keep the stock cam, ls6 springs, next gen 7875 w/ a 1.25 ar, 4" exhaust, stock torque converter, intercooler, 450lph pump, and min 80# injectors. As to what it would cost? It really depends on your abilities, if you can do all the fab work and tuning.

[@oceanwaves83]

​@@MPKPerformance Why do you recommend 1.25 AR over something closer to 1.0? Won't the 1.0 spool up faster and give you more midrange response?

[@MPKPerformance]

@@oceanwaves83 because the smaller ar chokes out a 6.0 fast.

[@sparksgarage1114]

Whats the build?

[@MPKPerformance]

[@jonfishmacon]

where you putting 2 pole ?

[@MPKPerformance]

It's actually a Hunter alignment rack. It was pretty heavy.

[@zacharymelvin3487]

What stall sir

[@MPKPerformance]

2200

[@brianbrazil9909]

Yeah but how fast does it suck down that 25 gallon tank? I think this is where it doesn't make it worth it diesels have way more pulling power and use a lot less gas doing it. Daily driving and pulling camper trailers sure but when you need to pull some s*** get a diesel

[@MPKPerformance]

It gets 10 mpg towing. Thank you for watching.

[@brianbrazil9909]

Thanks yeah it's a badass truck though I have a 2500 HD 2001 with a fresh 6.0 in it built a little bit but been thinking about doing a cam and very tempted to go this route .

[@zacharymelvin3487]

And what diesel tail pipe are you using off what model of truck?

[@MPKPerformance]

I think the one on Clifford is off of a Ford diesel lol.
