160,180,215 pump whats the best for towing/ street
what pump would be the best choice for making some good numbers cheap and be the best over all for a mild(maybe wild some day) tow/street truck build?

215 is the easiest to get mild power out of, but all are capable of great numbers. Theres guys running 600+ hp and running 11's on 160 pumps that have never been off the truck. All in the setup.

All of them will make decent power for towing. I think the 215 is the easiest to get good power out of. The 160s like more timing to get the same result. The 160 and 180 are generally cheaper though.

i got the 160 in my truck and i made just over 500hp, probably with some more air id be closer to 600hp 
and yes the 160s love timing
just dont put in lasercut dvs if you wanna tow alot....... 
i mean its doable, just not recommended.
