What about the Smarty compared to the Bully Dog on its lower settings? Like #3 or #5...compared the Tow/Economy and Performance on the Bully Dog? Trying to get a better idea since I never used Crazy Larry really, just a couple of select times when I wanted to roll some smoke 
Anyone towing regularly with the Smarty?
Also, who's stacking other boxes with the Smarty and what are you using? I have an XZT that I plan on using to stack with the Smarty....
Thanks guys! Right now, it looks like the Dog is going to be sold!

I towed regularly with the Bully Dog on the 60 HP setting. Then switched to the Smarty. The power is similar and the diesel rattle is slightly more with the Smarty so I think I'm getting a good amount of timing advance, which I wanted. The Smarty on level three is very driveable and much better than stock. It was able to overpower my TC lockup clutch at 1600 RPM.
The mileage seems to be better with the Smarty. Not a big amount, but a mile or so.
Also, the Smarty can adjust for tire sizes and that's a big plus.

Thanks again guys...looks like if the guy follows through and buys my triple dog...should be purchasing a Smarty next week possibly if the positive feedback continues...
Not going to know what to do with myself when my truck is stock for a while. My XZT is at Quadzilla getting re-flashed and the Triple Dog will be gone! Lord...I might be lost...

If you have a problem with the BD you call up and hope to get a decent tech on the phone...
If you have a problem with the Smarty you can call/email/PM the guys who actually created it! It doesn't get much better than that.

Kerry:
You are right, Tim Barber did make more power with the Smarty and so did DTR Member "dperf." As I recall, Bobby said he gained 10 H.P. and 75 ft.lb. of torque going from the Bullydog to the Smarty.

I tried to switch but smarty no worky for me. 
Seemed to be fueling just fine (OMG the SMOKE) but zero additional trq. Tried several diff levels and programs but no luck. Talked to Bob and he thought it may have been something the BDDL left behind.
Put the BDDL back on and the grunt off the line came right back. I was thinkin about trying the Predetor + Puck. (did they get that dead spot worked out yet?) Seems like theres more than a few DTR believers in that product as well.

I tried switching from the Bully Dog to the Smarty and it was terrible. The only thing I'm concerned about is power and it had less.
I honestly don't believe that the new beta smarty has more power than the scary larry. A buddy of mine has the new smarty beta with a built truck and it ran 13's last night...
The problem with the Smarty is you can't build enough boost at the line. It defuels which KILLS your times. I'd lay down money if we would've put the bully dog on it would've been at least mid 12's...
