I would get the edge J/A cts since you dont have any gauges.

Both are excellent. Pros for the edge: you can adjust levels on the fly. Pros for the smarty: It is also a code scanner/eraser, you can adjust the speedo for tire size. The two can also be used together at the same time.

I was planning on stacking one of these with my existing programmer now. Any of you heard anything on blue chip fms?

Yes u will get more out of edge with the pump tap, but to each their own. I wasn't concerned with horsepower i only bought it for the mpg gain and tire calibration.
