Towing with a Powerstroke 7.3L (expectation/realistic)

I'm looking at upgrading to a 11.5K loaded fifth wheel. I currently tow a 6K TT. Truck is Bone stock except for (DP infinity tuner and a 6.0L Trans Cooler) 2000 F250 7.3L CCSB SRW auto 4x4 Lari...

I wish I had a nice big 5th wheel.

If I was towing 12-15K I would look into either water injection Banks Double Shot for $1000 or a 38R turbo for $1400 to keep the EGTs down and still be able to bump up the power even more. (I would probably do both).

Then you can play with some methanol mixture to fine tune more power and manage the EGTs.

Still all cheaper than $60,000 for a new truck.
