[QUOTE="BigPoppa, post: 16508096, member: 177587"] 6.0L with a single 76/75 chinesium turbo can tow just fine at low boost (5psi) and premium gas with a knock retard table properly set up. The small single turbo will spool plenty fast with a motor of that displacement. Think ecoboost-style response and a nice flat torque curve. Building a turbo gasser for towing has never been a big problem. The issue has been dingbats trying to tow with a motor that was solely setup as a drag motor or guys who have a performance tune and a towing tune who decide "I can hit the high boost this one time and it'll be fine" while towing 10,000lbs, only to find out they're wrong. Keep the boost low and the spark late, you'll have no issues. Now that I've got that out of the way.....go with the Duramax and an Allison and be done with it. Bottom line, you CAN build a turbo gasser that can tow just fine, but if you don't have that kind of build experience and can't afford to experiment, stick with the diesel that was designed to take the beating.
