Smarty POD ROCKS!!

Smarty POD ROCKS!!
I met Marco over this last weekend, played on the dyno a little, and installed the new Smarty POD on my truck! Marco is a great guy, and that POD; WOW, is it nice. I get to keep my TNT/R turned up and ready to go without excessive smoke!
I've had some unfortunate experiences lately where I've had my Smarty turned down to something like 3... but really wished I had it on 9. Now, I can!
I really like the fact that I can cruise around, and bump it down to around 22 to 30 on the freeway- hopefully that might net a little better mpg. I did drive from Riverdale back to Riverside with the firm intention of testing the mpg. Unfortunately, I met another Dodge (Nice truck: Lift, edge sticker, and great exhaust) on the road going over the Tehachapi grade and decided to "play" a litle. I was up to setting 99 in two clicks of a button and push of the throttle!
It was great weekend, and worth the trip! THANKS MARCO!!!!

If MADS doesn’t post the POD software for download it implies that what ever software you chose when you purchase the POD is what your stuck with unless you send your Smarty back to MADS for a software change. Does this mean their will be no more free software updates? What if I want the Smarty Revo software now because I have a stock turbo but later upgrade the turbo and want to try the TNT software? It sounds like I would have to send it back to MADS for a software change. Perhaps this significant limitation is only during the Beta stage and until the firmware is upgraded? Bob?

They actually have to take it apart and do a firmware upgrade, so its got to be sent in. But it is worth it.
You load one SW setting in, say 7. You leave the Smarty plugged in as you drive. You enter whatever level 01-99 and it adjust the fueling of the program: 99 being full power at level 7, 01 being crawl mode.

I could bump mine down to 44 (tnt/r level 7)and not have to downshift going up the tehachapi grade. I can knock it down to 22 for straight highway cruising. There are tons of options now!

So if somebody were to send in a Smarty that has the Revo software loaded on it and have it updated to the PoD, would you still be able to adjust your trq, timing, rp, as well as what level you, 1-99%, that you wanted to run the truck at??
