Depends on your mods and depends on what you want. Both edge products you can change on the fly. Juice comes with a monitor so no need for guages. I have Juice and my buddie has a Comp box. We love ours. I like the juice for the monitor and on-the-fly switching. I havent had a Smarty but they seem to let have more control of the timing, width, etc etc of your fueling but you have to shut your truck off every time you want to change a tune. Just depends on what you want.

Well all ive got is an AFE cold air intake and boost, EGT and tranny temp. gauges. so edge juice probably isn't what i should get. Could i get more power with the smarty or the edge comp?

i would spend the money and get either a AD or Fass first and if you kept a edge jwa or comp set low then you could make your tranny last with either of the two

Since you already have gauges I would do the Edge Comp. But you need to get a Fuel Pressure Gauge ASAP.
