I have a Smarty to play with for a couple days

Posted

I borrowed a friends Smarty S03 to see if I like it. I don't think I will be comfortable enough to run the Edge and Smarty at the same time. If I do get the nerve.. I know enough not to run the Smarty on advanced timing settings. Any advice on what settings to try? There only appears to be one setting with boost fooling. Does this mean that any of the other settings.. that I should not be able to obtain boost levels over 20? I ask because I already tried the fuel saver mode for like 5 minutes and got my boost gauge to 30 and didn't think that could happen.

    Don't stack timing.  Read the back of the smarty and don't use the +timing tunes with the edge.  The smarty adds a minimum of 60hp on a stock truck regardless of the level.  The higher the number the

    Remember comparing the edge and smarty is apples to oranges.    Boost / EGT's will be noticeably lower with the smarty as it is not a wiretap b

    Dude I had a mini panic attack for you! I had to go back and watch the video in a higher res because I thought your fuel pressure was way low, especially for your mods! But, you have a 0-40psi gauge s

A little more driving today and I'm really liking it.. and leaning heavily towards trading my Edge for the Smarty. Unusual.. I know.. to go backwards in hp.. but I feel.. for me the truck handles better and I have more control. I must be getting too old ;-)  I suppose I could compensate the loss with a little larger injectors and turbo.. no? 

I also like that my speedo is accurate now. So.. that should correct the odometer.. yes? I don't see anything in the settings for high idle though? I know Wade came over one day and gave me high idle with his Smarty.. but maybe is was a different model...

Just loading the smarty turns on high idle.   the smarty keeps that flash on the truck once you load it.

I am finding that depending on which setting I put this on... it alters how the truck shifts. Should that be so? 

For example on sw3 or 5 it won't shift until  2200-2500 rpms and find myself letting off the throttle to force it to shift. SW7 is a little better but SW9 shift much quicker. Does this make sense? 

Also find that more duration equals better shifts.. I think

Remember shifting is directly link to throttle input.

 

The tuner will alter how much throttle you are using to get to speed.

    Sorry.. Not soaking that in. I don't know exactly what the smarty is doing on each setting.. 1-5 suck in my opinion. More fuel and/or timing I assume as you go up. 9 feeling most like the Edge. 

    So...If  I'm applying the same force to the peddle on each setting (which is the throttle.. correct?) I can understand it getting to the shift point quicker but why does it change the RPMs at which it shifts?
