CSU Blow through, that is what we will be running. Keven has put alot of work into the blow through and it shows on the tracks.

I'm going with the C & S Specialties aerosal dominator,

But to answer your question, blow through carb makes much more sense than the pressure box. If nothing else, eliminating the box makes tuning and changes ALOT less work -
