Box without injectors limits the fuel flow and power you can get.
I LOVE quality injectors, but if you have to choose one or the other, a box is the way to go. You have to have SOME kind of boost fooler, even if it's a cheap $120 unit in order to use the injectors to make any real power (over 50hp).
Since you have to buy a box anyway to get the injectors to strut their stuff, might as well get the box first.
As a bonus, you can turn the box off and on, while injectors are always on.
The "ultimate" box imo is actuall a combination of a TST fueling box and the Smarty software programmer.
After you have these two items, add injectors based on the HP you seek.
The Smarty/TST/injectors combo offers a lot of flexibility, phenomenal performance, and unrivalled driveability.
