If you are using the TST PMCR... I would invest on primary fuel pump, twin turbos and better clutch and you will not have to stack a pressure box. Think about it for a while, were talking 23000 psi already.... just use the duration and timing change and I wouldn't increase pressure at all. Injectors would probably be the next level after all the other upgrades. I have seen a CR with twins TST and clutch upgrades at Terre Haute IN without primary improvements literally quit fueling because of a lack of fuel supply. I think you would be wasting your money on a pressure box. I think the pressure box was the initial attempt at getting more out of your CR without having to figure out how the timing and duration works. Pressure is only for those that want injector problems down the road... my 2 cents.

I decided to use the VA since it also offered the in cab controls. Excellent stack and awesome power! I don't have the touchy throttle of the EZ and I have over 200 in-cab controllable power levels now. Sure is nice for towing and bad weather. A level for ALL occasions.

We stacked the older hotter version of the TST with the Edge box and the one we are building and gained some HP. You can always run conservative pressure settings to daily drive and crank the TST on when wanted/needed.

Dyno runs and daily driving were improved using pressure.

The current injectors on the market will lose some HP in the top end with the TST or the TST/pressure stack. We saw 40 HP loss with honed VS stock in TOP HP. The nice thing was the additional power you get when not using a box at all.

If MAX power is not a thing you are concerned with the best driving combo is a larger injector for daily driving and using any of the boxes available for additional power. The caveat is the TOP HP loss you will get. The system simply runs out of fuel.

I've gotten both of those with my stack so far.
