Good advice. I'm already running a VA V5 box (timing only I think) and try to keep line pressure up as best I can; trying to keep 3rd gear lockup RPMs always over 1800 RPMs and never lug it.

What did you mean by VS injectors?? Very small??

I'm thinking that if I can keep the HX under 32PSI of boost with the Mach 1s I'll be ok EGT wise.

I missed where you already had a box installed.

My only caution is trans related. The HX can keep up when unloaded, but full throttle loaded, it's a stretch. A larger housing will help, and beyond that, a hybrid or a small S300.

Yeah,I missed the VA Box in the original post too.

Optimized spray angles or not,the Bosch RV275s I have in my 3500 are about right,if all you need is a little more power.
When I had the Edge on loan from my mom it seemed to be a bit much,but I pull trailers about 50% of the time,so I have to think about drivetrain longevity a little more than some people do.

(still thinking about bigger injectors cause' I can't help but wanting to put the D-Maxes in they're place with authority)

Btw Fishin2Deep,what injectors IYO are the ones to get,if you are willing to upgrade the turbo,or drive by the gauges?

Gotta admit,never heard of the "spray angle issue"
