I would say go for both... But your tranny/clutch is going to need some help, unless you already have updated your clutch or trans. I personally have never tried a Smarty but I have heard nothing but great things about them!

I would be comparing the adrenaline and the juice, the smarty is only 65hp without wiretap.

My sig shows it. I like the Smarty for daily, on level 3. Good power and not too touchy on throttle application. When I want a little more, the 60hp TST adds just enough. I have a set of 275's in the garage, just waiting for a sunny day. I tow sort of heavy, so I don't want to have to get a bigger turbo and a new exhaust brake, to deal with more fuel. It drives like a sports car when empty, but still has enough power to relax and pass the big rigs on a hill, when I tow.Very little smoke and 35psi on the boost gauge. No worries!

I like the edge J/A. I have heard alot about stacking them. If someone has one they would let me try....well that would be cool.

Run on 5x5 until your transmission dies (like mine is doing), then get a new tranny. Seriously, 3x3 is nice for everyday driving....

I run my edge 3x5. I don't know what you have for fuel pressure but when I put my edge j/a I found out that my lift pump was out. I got a intank pump put in I had 10 pis at idle and 0 atwot. I then put in a bully dog big fuel kit and I have no fuel psi problems anymore. But my tranny is dieing that is next.

I wouldn't do anything with out gauges unless juice came w/ them. With no gauges you will be spending more $$ shortly. You have a 24 valve correct? Duh, you want a programmer so then it's a 98.5 not 98. Is it an auto or manual? Sorry, I just like to know all truck info.

I got a 2001 24v Juice with Attitude. I had a problem with mine sent it to Edge, they fixed it and I put it back on the truck last week. I run mine on 3x5 for everyday driving. When my tranny decides to go I may look into stacking.
