For guages with a chip, it's hard to beat the Juice/Attitude combo (but I'm prejudiced)
Other choices are Quadzilla Commander, Banks power PDA, and TST (I think).

I definately like the on the fly adjustability of the Attitude. I usually drive it in either the economy setting or the tow setting, but when someone wants to play, I can up it to extreme in about 2 seconds
The clincher for me was the built in EGT based turbo timer, plus it will defuel at user defined pre-set levels to keep from burning up the clutch or overheating the turbo. It even chirps at me when I exceed 95 MPH
I am still going to add some analog gauges for pre-turbo EGT, oil pressure,andfuel pressure for peace of mind.

I have the edge with attitude, as you know from being over here, it has almost like what 11 gauges in it. I dont even use them all and i mess around with the thing all the time. it also comes with a cool down timer (lets the engine run after yo get out and lock it untill it hits a certain EGT!) I have not heard anything good about the banks six gun at all. Alot of people on here like the TST and the Smarty. As for air intake, i personally love the AFE stage 2, it helped ALOT on my truck but some people put it down for a KnN or another close brand. And I went with the Magnaflow exhaust but banks i like too!

good luck..

Everyone I know of loves their edge. I'd tell him to go that route.

maybe once the piston rings go out .


J/K dude! we wouldn't want you any where else [sm=icon_cheers.gif].

I plan on doing the edge juice w/ attitude, looks to be the safe proven choice right now, well, there is alot of people on here who can vouch for them anyway.

Hey also, I forgot to tell you that your write up on the DIY for the cab lights is great, it has convinced me to do it. You made it sound so easy in the write up . Anywho, I clicked that link a while back... but it didn't work, where did you get yours again?
