I don't have one but If I could have afforded it I would have done the edge juice with attitude. I did the Max Millage from Quadzilla on mine as not a puller.

If you are going for big and bad, Smarty is where its at.

Make sure you have a good lift pump, such as an AirDog, or you will leave that VP44 high and dry. Keep fuel to it and you will be ok.

I love Smarty but Adrenaline is a beast. Youre going to need to do transmissions upgrades with whatever programmer route you take. Like Blaked said, get a good LP to keep the VP lubed.

Thought you had an auto. The DD clutch will hold a good bit of power.
