![Question](https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
When I bought the truck it came with the Banks Big Hoss Box on it. I just bought the Smarty Tuner and was woundering if I should keep using the Big Hoss Box with the Smarty or should I just use the Smarty turner?

Does the Banks Big Hoss add timing? If so I would try it with the Smarty on #8, and then take the banks Big hoss off and try just the SMARTY on #9. See which you like better? SMARTY #8 is just fueling. You do not want to stack two timing boxes is what I have gathered from the fine people on this site.

I'd recommend you keep your smarty on a "no timing" version when used with the Banks products.
I remember a guy melted his CTD stacking a Banks Ottomind with an EZ. The excessive timing under load just killed it.
Thus, my "no timing" recommendation, as the Banks stuff might get pretty aggressive on the timing at certain points in the map.

That said, SW #9 brings the power on early, before a stock automatic has a much line pressure, and this can definitely hurt the tranny if conditions are right.
I'd stick with #3 or #5 if you have a stock automatic, and even then there's no guarantees.
