milage w/mp-8 vs mp-8 and smarty

anyone tried the mp-8 alone vs stacked with a smarty and what settings get the best fuel economy??? was thinking about having the smarty on a lower setting and just using the mp-8 to fine tune.

Smile

the timing(odd) will deliver the best fuel economy stacked with the mp-8(pressure) box

I would try levels 1,3 and 5

Level one is 40 increase with NO added fuel.

Thanks

FWIW, I have tried similar testing, except I am using an EZ instead of an MP8. And it seems that SW5 gets the best mileage with the EZ on 1.

Like it a lot. Not alot of smoke, good power, decent mileage. I get 15-16 in city driving and 17.5 +/- highway at 75. Plus you still have the power there to teach some gasser a lesson if needed.
