Made me wonder. I love my Smarty and know many ppl who would love one too, but most never heard of it. I've been the bearer of good news to a few friends, but why isn't the Smarty more known to ppl outside this website?

it is in a magazine or two sometimes. I think the bottom line is... marketing cost lots of money, word of mouth is free.

I just saw an ad. in the back of Diesel Power. I like how they seem like a small caring company. Superchips, which is what I am running now, may be way to big to address any individual concerns. Diablo may be the same story (I don't really know).

all that may be true, but people in town sure know about mine!! No really ppe is prob. even less heard of than smarty. every one assoc. ppe with the duramax crowd, but the way i looked at it was cummins and duramax both have a common rail system, very sim. injectors, and heck the same cp3, all the programmers talk to these same parts and tune very simular. ppe has had the BIG numbers and reputation for duramax for some time now, outdone by no-one what what i hear, this is why i chose them. Dan over the phone told me the dodge tunes are just as good, just most people havnt tried it yet. Like the smarty i have never heard of it any where but this site, But we know how good it is from all the reading!! Both prob. great products that will cont. to catch on, hehehe i do want someone in town though to get a smarty, so i can have a go at it !!!!! I want lie to that! my numbers are fw and smarty is rw, but take both on any tune and add or sub. for driveline losses and there almost the same numbers. any one up for a little red light action ? Clutch ordered give me 1 week.

Yeah I guess ya'll are right, it just crossed my mind. And I agree with the word of mouth, I spread the word to anyone who speaks the word performance.

yeah i get tired of getting asked by the powerstroke guys if I have a Banks system on my truck. I still havent figured out why some people are so obsessed with the banks system. Generally with good research, you can get more power for less money using other combinations.
