The best box ?

I'm going with the Blue chip APB box or the TST PM3.
Which box would you stack with my van aaken V5. I
don't want to hear about the "smarty". I already have
the Van Aaken for timing and don't want to get rid
of it. APB is $495.00 , TST PM3 is $649.00 with remote.

Better update your sig then =P

I think apb would go nicely with your mildly bombed rig. TST has more power and costs more. I like the dial adjustment on the apb and the price, but personally I'd go tst for the power =P

I love my TST... but with your turbo, you might as well save your money..... you won't be able to use the fuel the TST will give you.... unless your planning on a turbo upgrade in the future?

Nothing's wrong with it, but as he stated above he already has a Van Aken that he is wanting to keep. If he were to use a drag comp he'd have to ditch the Van Aken because they both add timing.

I'd vote for the TST as well..........them suckers add some serious fuel but as RJ said, you better be planning on a turbo upgrade if you want to see the full potential of the TST.

well i have the drag box and i have the VA box that plugs directly into the injection pump. i am prob going to get the smarty for low end fuel but i have never had one prob with the drag VA stack. although your right, they do both add timing, my truck is just weird i guess becuase i took the VA box off and the truck was faster with the stack. i also might sell the drag and get the tst because the tst is a fuel only box, no timing so i could get a great stack with the tst and the smarty.

I just ditched my VanAaken V5 for an EDGE Juice with Attitude.

I only have it on level 1 and it stomps on my V5. More low end and a ton more top end.

I am selling the VA to a buddy.

I really like the digital gauges as well. So much nicer then my analog gauges. Sold both and I'm only into the Juice about $300.

Better then spending another $650 for the TST. Which is what I would of stacked with the VA if I had kept it.
