Which is best for towing hx35 or HTT III?

Hey Guys,
looking for some insight. I currently have H1c/16cm, fuel scerw 11/4 turns, runs well, develops 18 PSI boost. I am wondering which way to go? My truck is set up form tow, I range 950 to 1150 Deg. I just got an HX-35 cheap, can I tune to run the 12cm?(still stay cool) or go with HX-35 16cm. or...... Since I got the HX-35 cheap, should I sell it and go with HTT III ??????? I am fairly conservative when towing, 55 to 60 in 3rd.
Other planned mods: 4 in exhaust, hughes TQ, Transgo Shift kit.

OTBW I have not bumped the timing. Should I do it? If so, how much????
Will it drop the temps a bit?

Thanks
Bryan

Honestly I don't think that the 12 cm housing is the best way to go for towing. If your not going to add larger injectors, your best bet would be to run the HX 35/16 cm and bump the timing a little bit about 1/8 inch.

Put your 16 cm housing on the HX-35. It won't be quite as good as the HTT Stage III, but it'll be free. You don't have a lot of fuel so it should stay cool enough.

If your going to run it as is, then yes on the 35/16.
If you get the bomb bug, and decide you want more power, then go with the HTT unit.
