All depends how fast you want to tow this setup and what kinda hills you have. I tow 12k with a he351cw, 40psi (intercooled, non-functioning WG), 3.54gears, 33" tires and stock injectors (pump turned up). I have enough fuel to go above 1250EGT with stock injectors at 40psi on occasion (hills). I only have a few hills to climb so its not a big deal but if i had to go through the mountains or anything fairly hilly i would be slowed down considerably (i am heavy on the peddle most of the time). I have also seen my engine temp climbing as its the next weak link.
I also highly recommend an exhaust brake at that weight, i want one for my setup.
I would look at a larger turbo (62fmw, talk to RCCUMMINS) or compounds, thats my next choice also.
I may have a H3TB for sale with fresh rebuild, thinking the 62fmw is best for me at the moment.
