For what you have mod wise, and how you plan to use it I think the ED is the way to go.

100hp nozzles are big. You need the most lbs/min of air to feed them.

That means the B special.

The silver 62 would be last choice.

The Special does flow 6 lb/min more than the ED 63, but for normal driving and light towing I think the ED is a better all around unit, maybe not as cool on the 1/4 but generally easier to drive???

100's go with the special. Any smaller and you will be watching the guage alot. Mine will still bury 1550 after about an 1/8th.

^^^^ all the more reason not to opt for the silver 62.

Don't be fooled by marketing; you are comparing similar journal bearing turbos... so physics apply.

So, the bigger the turbine, the laggier it will be.

The bigger the compressor, the more air you will get.

The ED is best for the DD... the Special for keeping it cooler up top.

The silver just doesn't fit here.
