Default Programmers/chips - So many to chose from!!!

Well I went about 15 pages back to see if anyone started a thread already but didn't see one. I'm just wondering which route to take as far as programmers for my 1998.5 24 valve truck. I was told to run a "mads Smart S-03" which I've read up on, but they all sound good. A little about my truck, it has 4" exhaust, cold air intake. Fuel EGT's and boost gauges. Transmission has been built really well, air dog 150, Bullydog torq programmer, lifted with 35's. I'm looking for some noticeable power, maybe lighting the tires up???
Thanks

I would go with a Smarty or an Edge Juice, but it's personal preference.

If you have gauges already id go with the edge comp over the juice with attitude. You would save a few hundred bucks with the comp. The smartys are ok but dont offer the power of the edge on our year of trucks. I think they are only 75-80 horse and with the edge comp you are 40-120 without hot unlock and adjustable on the fly. But its all personal preference

I've got a smarty sr on my 02 24v, 6 spd, SB billet, cold air intake, and no restrictions on the exhaust, she'll light up posi dualls all day long if a person wanted it to, I'm really impressed with it-jus huntin some 100 or 150 horse sticks to top it off

I'd go with a Comp since you have gauges. If you want alerts, turbo timer, and limiters, I would go with the Juice with Attitude.

get the edge drag comp and then a set of injectors and you will be a lot happier than the smarty will ever make you feel on power you can see and feel.

Personally, I REALLY like my Adrenaline with Pulse Control Monitor...X2 on the gauges though if you already have them. The Adrenaline says 180 HP and 420 ft. lb. torque...It sure feels like it. It will break the rear tires loose going 55 MPH. Best thing about the Adrenaline is shift-on-the-fly through 10 power levels, turbo timer, and warm-up mode. No matter what you go with, request a quote on the BOMBers forum and you WILL NOT be disappointed. these guys will take care of you.
