best box for low end power

what is the best box out there for low end power? I am looking for power right off idle. I had a 00 with a van aken box and it was stronger off idle than my 04.5. My new truck pulls harder up high, but this is not where I want the power. I want to be able to pull into traffic and accelerate easier without having to lay into it. Lay into it too hard pulling out and the turbo spools and the tires go up in smoke. Just give me some ideas on how the other boxes compare low end wise to the quad box I currently have.
thanks

1st decide whether you want a programmer or plug-n-play module then we can go from there.

have not driven one but the smarty seems to have the best low end but it seems you need a semi built tranny to run even the lowest setting,,from what i hear it has great bottom end and for the price its the best bang for the buck

I would want to go with a box, but could go with a downloader as long as it did'nt leave a footprint.

only downloader that doesn't leave a footprint is the Smarty....and yes it has good low end...but i think thats because of reduced tq management. the throttle is so touchy it wasn't comfortable for me to drive. I tested one for a long weekend and before i had to give it back i had Crazy Larry back on my truck. and yes to run a smarty and actually DRIVE it half way hard i strongly suggest tranny mods.

i've tried the Juice and EZ....EZ had better low end but i wouldn't recomend that chip. Bullydog Crazy Larry with a Quad boost fooler works the best for me.
