true.. that would make more power... but likely youd still need to wind it to 3500 going up hill.... a single turbo would increase the low end torque under load.. if you get one for that purpose... but nobody wants to turn a reliable shop hauler into some project that takes time, costs money and might explode going up the next hill...

if the truck wasnt a money maker and you wanted to play arround with it i would recomend a smallish single turbo... nothing fancy in the plumbing dept... just pipe from the cast manifolds, and blow thru a carb

you could easily double your tourque from 2000 rpm, and who cares about lag on a tow truck?
