That is pretty much a personal preference. Me personally I like maxing out anything I drive. Whether I'm in the SRT8 or the Cummins. I don't try to get in to recommending what setting someone should use.

Edge Comp is better than a Smarty on the 98.5-02 Cummins. The only good from a Smarty is that it lowers torque management. But it will also kill a non built transmission.

I tried every combo out there.
Smarty alone will only give you maybe 70 to the tires. Smarty with injectors will give you around 1/4 of what injectors and drag comp or tst will. Drag comp with smarty will give you about 20 to 60 less HP than drag comp alone (in high power applications over 500). Tst smarty combo came up around 90 horse below comp alone. Around 110 less on the bottle.

ROFL.
My point was that the smarty in vp applications only makes 70hp MAX.

You may make more power at the beginning of the graph but I bet money if you tried both setups you will make less power with the smarty tst combo.
Tried it on a few trucks and all provided the same result.

You should re read my post. 90 horse is in high horse applications (over 500).
It will be less with most applications. As far as you out pulling his truck that could be weight, gearing, vp issues etc.
put em on the dyno and you'll know for sure. Not saying I'm right, just saying I've seen it countless times just at the dyno day we had here, I couldn't imagine you're truck would be one out of 100. But who knows.
