NA with 4.10's and 33's. Would that be a good starting point pulling a 4500 lbs trailer?

I had 4.10's and 33's and it always felt like the truck was still straining hauling with a trailer. But then again it did have 160k too..

Should I be worried about throwing the blower on mine? I'm close to 9.5. Block was decked at .115 piston to deck clearance. 11 cc dished. New stock gaskets and head bolts. I've also bought a 6# lower. Looking at about 14 #s of boost. I am going to get a tune from JJ @ woodbine after taking your suggestion into consideration.

Ahhhhhh yeah! I was slightly disappointed when you changed it to just the twins. Still impressive, but doesn't raise the hair on the back of your neck like the triple charge.
