Adrenaline with out a doubt. I just ditched the Smarty/TST comp for the Adrenaline and do not regret it one bit. The Adrenaline's bottom end comes in quicker and way smoother. Plus the 50 plus different tunes lets you choose what your module does. Also you have the option for non-aggressive or aggressive tunes.

I'm one of the beta testers for the Adrenaline and I can't tell you the difference between a TST/Smarty stack or a Edge/Smarty stack and the Adrenaline... but I can atest to the just plain awesomeness of the whole Qaudzilla crew and the Adrenaline. I've called the with some pretty stupid questions and they've always been respectful and helpful. Never felt like I was troubling them.

As for the Adrenaline itself... I remember when I first got my truck my dad told me to check into Edge because that was the best box to have at that time... I feel like the Adrenaline truely is the one box needed from a daily driven tower to a sled pulling pure competition truck.




Besides theres plenty of the beta testers that switch to running just the Adrenaline over their previous stack.

Those 2 didn't like each other on my truck....but I haven't tried it in a while. It doesn't seem like it needs the Smarty the way the Adrenaline fuels down low now.

Adrenaline, hands down. It not only has more power, less smoke, cooler egts, more features, but it gives the user the ability to adjust timing/fueling on the fly in real time. No comparison, not even close. The other boxes/programmers are in elementary school & Adrenaline is the teacher. I'm not saying that Smarty isn't one bad dude, but the Adrenaline is above & beyond just in added features alone.

Yeah, I think it was early on in testing where more guys were still using the smarty for down low. I don't know of very many people running a stack on top of the Adrenaline... for obvious reasons.

Both are excellent setups for power.

I know many are trying to give the Adrenaline the trophy already, but personally, I think that may be a little premature.

I'm a beta tester for the Adrenaline and I do believe it will be the champ but I don't think we've consistently seen that it has earned that title yet. That said, I know a bunch were running it at the track this weekend. Watch the other Adrenaline thread for results.

You cannot knock the Smarty/TST combo as it has proven to be one of the best combo's on the street and on the track. The Edge boxes are still no slouch either, especially coupled with the Smarty. The Edge seems to have something on the others on the dyno from my experience.

Now with everything said, I love the Adrenaline/Pulse at this point. It has been a journey to get where it is, but it is very strong and smooth. I love the features of the Pulse as well......it is truely remarkable. I've been hoping to get on the dyno but with a new son that arrived a couple weeks back, I haven't found time and it has been less of a priority.

If I were looking for a new box, I'd wait a couple more weeks as the competition season is just getting fired up. I'd wait to see how the results pan out. I still think the Adrenaline will be a viable choice with just it's features and adjustability. I think we know it is pretty much at least an equal to the other combo's out there at this point with probably more refining to come. Like I said the Pulse and updatability I think push it to the top though.
