Both twin turbo trucks pulled hard through 3500 RPM - one ran out of road and the other blew a boot at 65 psi... one built auto and the other SB 5600.

pulls hard, just like it always has, to 3600 where it falls off hard.
ill be able to give my best impression of it after i pull with it on saturday. i am gonna shoot to keep my rpms no higher than 3400 and if i notice a difference in the way it pulls then i will post back.

Well pulling to 3600 is a huge improvement over what it used to do!!?? My truck would fall on its face around 2900-3000RPM, being able to pull hard to 3500RPMs is completely new for my truck.

Just before the new upgrade, I went on the road in third, OD locked out, and tested. Started cutting back on fuel at 2900 rpm...fell off at 3000.
New software pulls hard to at least 3500!
I did get check engine light and a crazy light show from my TST comp?? It continued, even after turning it off?? Not sure they are connected but never had even a hiccup from my TST till right after new Smarty upgrade. Anyone else?
One other (bnold) upgraded at same time with TST comp and .... no problem.

Always thought mine did to...but turns out that was only on the dyno...with no load. (much harder to tell w/ an auto cause I don't see much over 2300 rpm daily driving... or 3000 at track).

No Comp but I do have a TST PM3 and no issues at all. I also wasn't aware that this update was supposed to fuel all the way to 4k. I do know my pulled hard in every gear to atleast 3500. Without springs I sure don't wanna drop a valve, so I never even thought of trying to push it that far.

Lot of opinions here, so I'll give you mine on my low hp truck.
To me, it is stronger. I don't rev mine like a lot of you, but light to light and highway acceleration at 65 mph up, it does feel like there is more there. Awhile back, I was running an EZ with the Smarty to get a little more in the higher RPM's and the new program seems to add that for me.
