Having ran huffers on a couple of old tech built for towing 454/460 one ton drw trucks in commercial service in the '70s heat was a engine killer.
This is 40+ year newer tech but I would like to see a actual towing test up the IKe and see how the belt driven huffer and other mods deals with excess heat through the engine/tranny. See what actual temps are like working heavy rather than a drag race.
Were those old trucks running roots blowers that came off a Detroit 2-stroke?
The fastlane F250 uses a centrifugal blower, essentially a belt driven turbo. They're much more efficient. I wonder if the 7.3 uses the same transmission as the diesel, that'll tell us how much reserve it has.
