I would not recommend using the Predator on 65 for towing that much weight. Even moderate hills will bring you to 1300+ in a hurry. I tow a 15k 5th wheel with the 40 hp tune and hit 1300 pretty quickly on the hills. As an experiment, I returned to stock coming back from Colorado a couple of weeks ago and was really pleased with the way it towed stock. I rarely hit 1300, and that was on a really steep pass in Colorado. I am going to leave it stock when pulling my 5th wheel. I am willing to sacrifice some power for lower egt's when towing. I must note that I have a 4" MBRP exhaust and not kitty cat, so this helps with the egt's. Oh...definitely get some gauges and an exhaust.

That is why I bought the Juice/***. EGT were way to high on even the 40hp tune.

On top of EGT's I'd be a little concerned about the stock trans. Maybe it won't have an issue and maybe it will. Flat ground will probably be fine but if you go up some large hills with 6% plus grades you might eventually have problems. Of course I don't have any experience with this and I could be talking out my A**. I just think it's worth considering. That's with the predator of course. The hyper tech probably isn't a problem since it isn't as strong.

Turbo, how heavy are you towing and what egts are you getting on grades?
