What would give the most power ?

I currently run RV275 injectors and the van Aaken V5
box. I'm looking for more power without changing my
injectors. Should I stack the van Aaken with a
Blue Chip APB box or sell the van Aaken and get an
Edge Comp ? I want most of my power down low in
the 1800 - 2400 rpm range. Also I want low egts for
towing so I need to be able to turn off the box. The
APB box is $500.00 and the Comp is $600.00 , but if I
got the Comp I would sell the van Aaken. Oh ,by the way
I really like the bottom end power of the van Aaken and
highly recommend it for the towing crowd.

I've heard that a TST/VA stack is a very nice stack to have.

You shouldn't take injectors off the table like that.

Injectors are the key to HO hp. A Mach 4 gives OVER 150hp on an HO truck. There's not a box on earth that will add 150hp to a stock HO.

Heck, without a wire tap, even M6s will make HO power. I bet an M6 would make 200hp on an HO with no wire tap (assuming enough air).

Even a really hot fueling box only adds about 90-100hp to an HO.


If you want to stick with your present injectors and VA, add a TST box.

What are the biggest injectors I can get away with
without always watching my EGT gauge when towing.
Is there anyone here that has first hand experience good or bad
with the Blue Chip APB box. I like the adjustability of it , so I
can turn it real low when towing in the mountains. I just want
to know if it makes a big performance gain like I heard the Comp does.
