If you already have the edge with attitude, keep it....Do the hot unlock, get a pressure box, injectors, and a turbo. Since you need gps the a2 is a pretty simple all in one unit. Although the smarty would probably give you a little more, you would have to buy a smarty, gauges, then a pressure box, injectors......

edge makes nice stuff but if you get the chance I would try out a tst if you are looking for power. the tst does really well stacked on a downloader on an 03-05 thats what I ran on my 05. its been stated before that the edge doesnt work good with the smarty so you may try a bully dog or PPE if you keep the edge. with the new smarty tunes you dont need a pressure box. ive ran a couple and they dont do much for what they cost. you can reach 700hp without pressure with the right mods

I've tried everything and can tell you either wait for the adrenaline or buy a smarty. I hate to sound like all the other cheerleaders but its true. TST makes big power but has caused to many issues, no start etc. Bullydog just plain sucks along with their support, its just to much to list. I finally gave in on buying a smarty after fighting it and trying as much else as possible. If that quad was out yet I would own it they make big power and work great on second gen trucks I cant wait to see what they will do on a Common Rail.

smarty goes for 685 new, or if ya cruise the classifieds here often enough you can get one for 500 or less and then d load whatever tune ya want onto it. I would do it fast as the revo tunes are going to be out soon, and I bet the used smarty's will get scarce, and or go up in price.
