builds pressure in the cylinders to help the rings seat faster. if you tow with it, you'll have higher boost levels for longer periods which will speed the ring seat up faster.

He said after break in steve. Drive em like you stold'em because these things were meant for medium duty trucks. They were built to be put on the floorboard all the time

and still get 300,000 before a rebuild.
