I prefer the Smarty on these Crs. You can get the Diablo predator for considerably cheaper and good power for the 03-04, but nowhere near the update ability or customer service the Smarty brings. For gauges I went with Isspros and like them alot. You can look at westach, DiPricol, and Autometer also, even SPA. The Smarty will give you many more options, hands down.

Cowboy,
On my 03 I ran a TST and a Smarty for a long time and it's a great stack. I like the adjust on the fly ability of the TST. I can tell ya this the TST and Smarty makes serious power. I didn't see what you have for a trans but you will have to do some upgrading. You'll also need a turbo.
Good luck,
Topper

I like my quadzilla. Definately like the "on the fly" switch. Haven't tried a smarty though.
