Smarty Jr. observation

Smarty Jr. observation
I have been running the Smarty jr for a while now and have run it on 40hp and 70hp.(havent touched 100hp yet).
I have no dyno proof or anything like that, but i could swear that the sw1 and sw2 settings are reversed...I seem to have more power and better driveability on the 40hp setting than on the 70hp setting. Also hand calculated mileage is better on the 70hp setting. Both of these observations make me think that the settings are reversed...???
Has anybody else noticed this? I am in no way slamming the Jr. because I love the product and hate it when I have to go back to stock for some reason. Im just wondering if anybody else has noticed this? For all I know, its normal....????

100 hp setting was the best mileage for me, then the 70 hp and 40 last. Don't seem reversed on the 2 lower settings to me. But I ran only one tank per level and then settled on 70 hp due to feel and my comfort level.

so if i am running the 40 hp setting you are telling me to release the hounds and run the 100hp setting... for the best fuel economy of course...
cool i will have to do that this week

Well on my jr the settings are definately different with the 40 being the weakest, 70 next and 100 the strongest, as it should be and i also get the best mileage on the 100 hp setting, yeah go for it.

Some are saying that they dont feel any difference on the 40hp setting over stock...Im here to say that my 40hp setting is a BIG difference over stock. All trucks are different and I think Ill just stick with the 40 setting for now, cause for now its doing what I want and I have an auto trans and no tranny fund built up yet.

I run the 40 all the time, in fact with the timing on 3 its only good for about 10-15 hp at 2K rpms, but the truck is MUCH peppier. The motors like the timing increase and the less tq management.
I have dyno'd all of the SW's, except the most recent Revo... SW 2 certainly has more power than SW1.

i love mine. I had a sr on my 05 and couldn't use it with my slushbox auto. Jr. is more than enough even on the 70 for me. I roll 40 all the time now.

SW 1 is more throttle responsive and stronger than stock, not to mention funner to drive! I've run SW2 for about 6 miles on a rainy day with 52000 mile tires, needless to say at 1/2 throttle, well lets just say it was stupid to try to drive it that way and it went back to SW1 when I got home. Haven't tried SW3. Mileage is about 1-1.5 better on average. So far a good product for a stock every day driver. Smokes a bit more than I like.
