Default Adrenaline vs smarty Pros and Cons

Hey i was thinking about geting the adrenaline with pulse or the smarty. i was just wondering witch one is better in what. For example witch has better low end,top end, witch is going to make a better run at the track. Just give me some info of what yall have seen by using them and tell me how ur truck did. thanks for any info.

o and i have a 1998.5 cummins with intake exaust 125 injectors and a airdog i now im going to need a tranny but i was just wondering witch is better. and if there is a better tuner tell me thanks

The smarty doesn't add a lot of power. I would do the adrenaline with pulse to give you gauges and all you need. Just make sure you have a fuel pressure gauge.

There is no comparison between the two on a VP44 powered truck, the Adrenaline wins hands down. You are limited to around 65 HP with the Smarty, whereas the Adrenaline can give you up to 160HP I think. The smarty has some nice features, but dollar for dollar you are better off with the Adrenaline. A comparison between the Edge Juice and the Adrenaline would be a more even one.
Good luck.

Why come no one likes the TST powermax comp it makes 120 without timing and if stacked with smarty for timing would probobly rival the adrenalin

Not sure on the drivability though
