With these new 400/800 trucks who in the world needs to mod? It's the hot rod guys who WANT (don't need) to mod, like it's always been. I run a high mountain pass every trip and never an issue - had a lifted tuned coal roller truck pass me (I was doing ~60mph)on a steep grade with his toy hauler - half a mile later I passed him as he sat on the shoulder , mid grade. Big lifts/tires suck power, tuner to get it back, big exhaust/intake to try and bring down egt...what a racket.
if you had a pyro on your stock truck and you actually saw what a factory temp is you would be shocked. Hit a really big hill on a really hot day and with a factory tuned truck and 1400 is not out of the question. i can pull a 6 mile 12% at 65mph and never see 1300 degrees at 22psi in 5th gear with a 15.5 5er. I also blow past lots of gassers who cant even make 65 mph with their loads. and i have g rated tires on the camper so i could go faster if i wanted to but 65 is fast enought with that load
