Smarty could replace your tuner and produce around the same max power while putting a real hurting on your tires =P Smarty will give you low end grunt and eliminate top end defueling.

60 HP is the most you can get without a wiretap box (COMP/Juice, TST, Blue Chip...) The Smarty is really a completly different beast than the SC though...

so i understand this right, I'll be able to smoke the duels? That would be awesome also, if i threw on some injectors[100hp or so] to complement the smarty, would this be a good setup? what i'mlooking to do is have the most power i can, but still keep it reliable & still tow a 'house' at 70mph

nope, you wont be able to smoke the duals with the smarty. trust me, ive tried now you throw some sticks in there and a big ole on it and youll have a smoke machine!

i would do the smarty and some rv 275's for a sweet towing rig.

they are approx 60 hp sticks. They make a killer combo for towing when added with a smarty.

But you will be looking into a valve body for that auto if you tow with this...

Dunno about the auto, but a little clutch work will spin mine with the smarty, with the help of a lot of fuel. Sorry if my above statement was misleading- view my title in the sig

Let me put it another way, the smarty will make the turbo want to spin and the engine want to rev, even past redline. That's the best way I can describe what the smarty does for you.

oh jeez, a rv 275/smarty/valve body combo will smoke quiet a few cars. BUT, if you really want some ***** to blow people off the road, you'll be looking at a valve body and a torque converter (at the bare minimum) and some mach injectors. (ya might get away with mach 2's or so, they are 105 hp) and then you could put a tst pm3 on there. Along with the smarty. I drive around on my injectors and the smarty, and flip the switch on the box when i need to smoke somebody.

But this will be quite a bit more money.....


Now you could also do the injectors stacked with a comp. but run it in ez mode when you tow for the timing and then put it on kill to show them pesky ricers whos boss....



Theres many many ways to get the hp that you desire. its just expensive

i probably couldnt smoke my tires with just the smarty because ive got a flatbed thats an extra 1500 lbs over what everybody else is carrying.... makes it kinda hard to get wheel spin.

expensive=part here&there right now, but i do like the last idea you have, seems pretty strait forward, right now my ride is basically bone stock, so from what I've read, I've got lots of options. thanks for info

believe it or not, I actually listened to all the posts on this one . I've got a pyro, fp, boost. I'm thinking about also putting in a trany temp, and second fp gauge[just for filter changes].
