Default Which box would you buy?

Ok guys.. Im just putting this up to see what others opinions are. I haven't been able to do enough research on different boxes/downloaders recently. I am eventually going to be getting a box for the truck (probably once my 70k mile warranty is up). As of right now, Im looking at the Quadzilla race box, and bully dog stuff. I don't need anything that has a monitor, as I already have gauges, and I don't really have anywhere to put an additional monitor. Any suggestions, or tellin me what you run helps. I am going to be doing research on my own, but I would like to know why you bought what you did. Thanks guys!

Probably no help but I bought my edge juice w/attitude monitor because it gives me good safe power. I like the monitor which has turbo timer, and gauges built in. I also like the ability to adjust on the fly.
I've since found out that Edge products has very good customer service

You could buy a Smarty right now and not have to worry about the warranty issue

Havent price checked the smarty.. Might have to look into it. Either way I am gonna have to save my pennies, but Ive heard the smarty is a good box, Im just wondering if there are any other options out there that I need to be aware of.

I have to agree with Hut on the Juice/Attitude combo...huge power, but very safe...I have run it on the past 3 trucks with no issues right from 5000km on. The Juice gives you a ton of safegaurds even if you are running a stock tranny. In my 06 I am running the EZ now, but as DM mentioned, not enough power...nice mileage gains though....

So, I suppose I could run the Edge Juice w attitude, and find a spot to mount it. I like my analog gauges though. Is there a way to make the peramiters of the attitude work without hooking up the EGT/Boost/Fuel pressure?
