Best box+injectors combo with stock turbo HO 6spd

Wondering what the best combo is here for solid reliable power. I don't want to over-do the HX35 turbo. Just about to order a SBC CON OFE clutch so I will need some injectors+chip to follow. I currently have some brand new 275 injectors not installed yet.. I could sell these or use these. I have previously used an Edge EZ and was very happy with it. Any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat as you. I have a Comp, and Mach 1.5's should be here this week. Previous to tapping the wire, I couldn't slip the stock clutch. After tapping the wire, I can only run the comp on setting 2x5. If I go easy on it, I can run it on 3x3, but I'm not usually easy on it . Once I install the Mach 1.5's this weekend, I'm gonna give it a run on setting 1x5 with the wire tapped and see how that works. I'm doubting the stock clutch wil hold. So, I'm gonna untap the wire (unhook wire going to Grabber) and run it in ez mode with the new injectors. Now all I need is a Con OFE....

Your turbo can/should handle a setup similar to mine no problem. Now if you go w/ mach 2's thats a different story. I would install the 275's now,then get a comp, or something similar and when your ready, get some larger injectors and swap'em out.

If you want solid, reliable power, then it's tough to beat the RV275s for the price. Since you already have them, I would point you towards an adjustable box like the Edge Comp or a TST PowerMax.

If you want to run in the Maxed-out EGT range of the stock turbo, the Comp and 275s will allow you to fine tune that, and the TST box will allow even MORE control because it had 9 levels, not just 5.

If you tow, I'd point you towards the TST box. If you don't, or only tow light, then get the Edge.

The TST is generally cheaper by a couple bucks-- probably because it's ugly

I'd encourage you to keep the 275s and get a wire-tap fueling box. You'll probably LOVE the combination.

My 99 liked the DD 3's edge box, stacked with TST PM 3, and Scotty II. It was fun while it lasted. Little 35 loved the set up.

A "wire tap" is when a box, such as an Edge Comp or TST PM3, offer another way to increase power. Both have a wire which "taps" or pierces into a wire on the injection pump. This wire sends a signal to it and says "give it more fuel at this certain time." An Edge Ez, what you have I'm guessing, doesn't have this wire to tap into the injection pump. The Ez is a timing box while the Comp is a timing and fueling box. I put this in easy as possible terms to understand. Hope this helps.
