What all do you have done or plan to have done to your truck? I've heard alot about the TST/Smarty stack, suppose to put out some good power. But you'll need to upgrade your trans and fuel system when doing those. Right now I have a quadzilla xzt, its a mild box similar to the edge EZ. It gives about 65 extra HP over stock. Eventually I'm going to upgrade my trans and put a more aggressive box on my truck but for now the XZT is fine for everyday driving and towing.

Top of my list is the Adrenaline followed by the Juice.

TST Comp stacked with an Edge EZ or a Quad XZT.

Next would be the Redline stacked with an Edge EZ or a Quad XZT.

I also ran the TST/ Smarty stack. And before that the Catcher/ TST stack. The TST is rock solid reliable. But the truck was undriveable on the Smarty. The EZ made it a pleasure to drive, increased power and kept the soot off my bumper.

ruffels are nice, but I like pringles better !!!!!

Just kidding!!!

I love my edge comp and it stacks well with a smarty, but you should get quad ADR with pulse and it will stack with smarty. These boxes are nice!!!!

You should check the current threads. Alot of us are having issues with the Quadzilla XZT+. Seems to be crashing at 1yr of service. 2 of us with the same problem having to send it back to the factory to get fixed and a third on line with the same problem.

I like the TST smarty combo.
The Adenaline has some issues if you read the posts. Do a search on it.

Adrenaline and Edge Juice are both seem good. I like the edge monitor a little better than the pulse monitor. I have both and don't see any difference in either but I'm not running them on the highest horse power settings so I can't vouch for the most horsepower out of both.

I've tried the catcher programing with no timing with an Edge Drag Comp, the catcher programming with timing and a TST Comp. And the TST/EZ stack as well as the Edge Drag Comp by itself. My favorite so far is the TST/EZ over everything else I've used. I will be trying the XZT+ with my TST in the near future. The TST/EZ gave much better driveability. Faster spoolup, and less smoke during the summer. The catcher tuning was unbearable for smoke, killed topend power, and made the bottom end useless unless you very lightly applied throttle. It would drown the truck out with fuel at anything over 1/8 throttle. I couldn't 60 foot without launching at 25 pounds and then it killed the topend horsepower and mph. With the TST/EZ combo I can launch at an easy 15 pounds and still pull 1.72 60 foots. If I crank it up to 20 pounds and get it to actually hook it goes into the 1.6s but it is very hard to hook with that much boost on the launch unless the track is perfect. The TST/EZ stack has been on my truck since 2005 and the only issues have been the posilock connections that I'm going to remove and solder this week. Quite a bit better track record than the Adrenaline boxes but I'm still going to try stacking the XZT+ with my TST to see how I like it.

The TS Performance MVP is supposed to be pretty good (100HP) without tapping the wire....

Ive used almost everything. the tst is a very powerful box. what I did not like was there was NO off boost fueling. so itwas laggy until it made boost.
the edge comp was good. no real complaints. but it is what it is.
I actually used a quad xzillaraider and van aaken and loved it. its now discontinued. Im now using the adrenaline. power is AWESOME, lots of options. tons of tunes available and custom tuning possibilities. definitely my favorite so far. not as smooth as the others, thats my only complaint.
