Default Question about Programmer

I have an 05 Dodge 2500 4" straight exhaust and AEM Brute Force air intake. I am looking at buying a programmer but am teetering on the decision. Should I get a Smarty or an Edge Attitude. I want more power, turbo timer, and adjust on the fly. The same time I am going to add an AirDog to help with the injectors because this is a needed thing, right?

I'm in the same boat as you (it sounds like) but I think I've decided on the Edge. I really don't need what the Smarty has to offer as I'm not going for all out power... You are going to hear "Go Smarty!" all over the place but really think of your long term goals for your truck and what you want it to do for you.

Either will be a good choice for you. Its all about what you want for your truck. The options the edge gives you are nice with the built in gauges and being able to adjust on the fly. For all out power the smarty hands down. For the airdog what are your plans for the truck power wise?
Or if you wanna get crazy stack em!!!

Ive told creepersleeper the same thing on another board, check the local classifieds. I found both the juice with attitute and a smarty for a steal of a deal I couldnt pass up. Alot of people are trading/selling the old trucks for the new body style which means the goodies are getting sold off before they go to the dealership.

I want more power for the truck but wanna be able to adjust for towing and everyday usage. I like the Smarty but how hard is it to readjust? I like the turbo timer that is with the Edge. I don't know which one I want and was hoping for someone to pick one for me.... Anyways, thanks for the feedback.

since you said you wanted on the fly settings the only choice for the two you put up is the edge
