What Twins kit?? Source Automotive or BD Towing Twins?

Question for the Twin guru's.
So I talked with Bill at Source this week. He recommended the High Tech 62/65/12 over S400 series. I tow up to 10K. Most of the time around 6500lbs. I'm still told with the altitude I'm at 4500 and tow up to 9000ft. EGT's will still be an issue. Is what it is I guess. Don't want to run water meth either. I hear the BD Twins are S300 series using a 57mm over 66mm. Seems too small for my towing needs.
They also recommended not going over 75hp for my sticks.
Other planned mods:
1. Head work o-ring, 60lb valve springs, studs.
2. DDP injectors
3. Pump Timing
4. 4K GSK

Basically just looking for the right combination of mods that would work with my altitude and best towing capabilities without extensive EGT monitoring.

Rip and Bill at sourceautomotive have alot of exp and knowledge talking with them is a good thing. you may want to post this question in the towing thread I dont tow much and not at your elevation. but I do hear alot of people happy with injectables. but if you dont want meth you have your reasons.
also side note I'm really peaked by your Volks, I have always been intrested in getting a car diesel just never pulled the trigger..
good luck

Pretty sure that ddp sticks are based on the 370 nozzle (155 deg angle) vs the 215 (145 deg).
