you think maybe he thought you get less slip.Therefor getting more power down to the wheels. Not actually producing more power?

If you ask PI how much to tow they will say don't. It will affect your towing mostly in the trans fluid heat. I would and have towed a 3000lb trailer short distances keeping an eye on the transmission temp. Probably wouldn't tow one for a long way in dead of summer knowing I had a lot of mountians to climb.

Uhhhh, Thanks, I guess. lol
I towed my boat (around 5,000) with little problems with the 2800. It really depends on how much the converter slips durring lock-up....

Thanks for all the help guys. So far I'm going with either the vig or yank with the best cooler I can get

I have a Vig 3200 and a B&M SuperCooler 24000 GVW, how bad do you think my towing will be effected?

A small converter (10" or less diameter) will produce a lot of heat, without towing. The reason for this is due to less fluid being in the transmission/converter. If you plan on towing with a 10" or smaller converter (typical stalls are 3000+), you seriously should look into an external reservoir (like B&M's TFCS system) to have extra fluid capacity to keep the trans temps down. The heat from the extra slippage will kill your transmission and overheat your converter. If you tow with a stall, you need to retune the TCC lock up so it will engage in 2nd and early, then never let go after wards. This can be accomplished in the tow/haul mode settings ... which will not affect your street driving, which the TCC can be set looser for max power. Realize that with a 3000lbs trailer load, a typical 3000 stall converter (10") may now become a 4000+ stall, due to the extra weight. Converters are rated for a specific weight, power output and gears. Working for B&M as their converter designer, this is how I setup some of their converters.

Alright, I dont plan on towing a lot, just if things pop up I would ike to be able to
