Smarty :)

Well i received my SMARTY today and all i can do is smile. The only concern i have is the rattles that have developed now, and i dont know if it is worse because of my Flux 1 injectors. Let me know what yall think, hopefully Marco will chime in.


Also did anyone else receive a 100 grand candy bar in their box????

a little bit of rattle is just the nature of the beast. If it is excessive, then you might have an issue with programming. Most likely if it feels like it is making good power, you are OK.

i saw an immediate drop in mpg, because I just couldnt keep my foot out of it. I loved it. the smarty changes the timing, that is where the rattles come from . rattle much less when warm, and I set my tone ring mod back to stock, because the smarty was advancing it for me, no need to cheat.

actually I hardly ever venture away from SW's 8 and 9. Even on those levels I still saw an improvement. My mileage went up an additional 1-1.5 MPG over my previous box combo(TST/Crazy Larry and TST/SP Diesel). My truck now averages 20-20.5 mpg(hand calculated). In a couple days I am going to put the SP box back on and see if I can squeeze any more out of it.

I'm in the final stages of the development for the "boost fooling" software.
It works rather fine in my '06 now.

Within a couple weeks ( I hope at latest, still need more R&D time ) Smarty will no longer need any external boost fooling on the 04.5 and up trucks. On the 03-04's some kinda device for boost bleeding to the wastegate will be needed though.

Doug60,
Imills ( and a couple others ) are testing a new beta software right now. Let's see what they'll have to say about it. I *think* the rattle is solved but let's wait for their findings. We'll proceed from there.

Marco
