Money PIT!!! HURRY UP and get here!!

Well here i sit and wait for the UPS man, ordered a II ss62/14, RV275 injectors, a set of 5" stacks and a 2 piece manifold last week. Now i'm debating over what box, an edge comp or drag, or a TST? I'm looking for pros and cons, so feel free to chime in!! Am running the smarty and the edge EZ right now, but i'm thinking i need a little more fuel with this set up???

that 62 could use alot bigger injectors than 275's too...but the smarty should still help spool it. of course like was mentioned, your clutch wont last long unless you dont ever use the new found power and drive like my grandfather.

Whats you're elevation there in Montana CapnRam? Unless you're at high altitude or tow heavy you might want to just return the rv275's for something bigger

RV's are a waste of money unless you send them in to Robinhood to get them honed. RV's with a level 3 hone and flow match can make upwards of 500 HP, and run smooth like Mach's.

Elevation here is right around 3600 ft, and i do tow a 30' fifth wheel during the summer, and then with hunting in the rockies i'll be gettin up there, so i guess i'll try out the 275's and see how it goes, i'm not looking for massive hp #'s, just a little more power for towing, and a little more fun running around town. My 73 GMC Sprint is my power toy, 620 hp with a blown 470 bbc! Thanks for all the input though!!!
