Damn you really towed that much and didnt notice that much difference?

I fell like my truck is a dog going up hills. I need some more power. Prob headers, SC, and a TB and I bet I will be okay.

You could do a 250 shot of nitrous too.

yeah, i was towing a ****load. i wasn't sure how it would be b/c it was my first towing job with this truck, and it was going 1200 miles straight lol. but, not a single problem, no heat probs, no steering probs, felt solid as hell the whole way. was rollin a steady 80mph at about 2000rpm. after i calc'ed it, i believe i got 12.5 mpg, which isn't too bad i guess for the load. ran regular fuel until i hit nebraska, and then i ran premium but it felt exactly the same. had so much **** in the bed + trailer weight the *** was saggin a bit. when i got to CO i thought about installing some air bags, anybody use em? what do ya think? i think it was like $600 for a set of rears with no on-board air.

My friend has an 05 QCSB with the 4.7 and he thinks it's the most godly motor ever, its funny as hell. He claimed right after he got it he punched it from a stop and spun em for a full block. Can anyone say bullchit?
