Heavy towing - best bomb?

I currently run the Edge for the 600 which has 3 settings. 20-40-70hp.
I tow only in the 20hp setting but I can still get the egt up to 1500 very easily. even when towing my gn empty. when towing the hills I can get up to 1500 (manifold temp) and easily keep it there with the box diconnected.. cummins says 1300 should be max. I even changed my gauge to make sure its right.

Ive read where guys are getting leaking injectors around 170,000 miles running pressure boxs. I will be at 170,000 in less than 2 years. I need a box that will give me the best performance with the least amount of egt increase. I will be adding an afe filter replacement and a bigger intake.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
