I still have the production tune. (can't update) I also have the smarty on 2(fule and boost fooling). it runs really good, but I havent run the updates to see if it makes the same difference.

Did you ever get the loading of different tunes figured out?

I cant wait for the pulse Adrenaline. I liked the smarty, but wish I could re-map the touchy throttle to be above 30%. If I had the higher power and less touchy throttle response for low end I would have a reason to put in my 180sticks instead of my 105. I just dont want to have to baby it from starts.

Yes. I just load adr2000 4/3 and it run smoother and comes on sooner than the prodution tune. Still running the smarty stack for the bottom end. Just can't beat it for off idle response.

Good to hear that you got the downloads working. Yea I have to clear some off my desktop and replace with new files. But I have a couple of tunes that I might hold onto yet. I will probably have to try the New ones before I go and throw out the old ones. Every truck runs a little different with these tunes. There are too many other factors involved. Good luck finding the right one. It takes some time but its fun

I stacked the 2 for a while & it worked well with the old production tunes. The new tunes up on the website yesterday are the RowJ tunes. They don't work as well, my turbo builds boost slower with the stack than Adrenaline alone. I don't think it is worth the money at all. I use my Smarty as a code reader now, performance of the Adrenaline alone is more than enough. Guys who stack the Smarty have noticed no performance gains on the dyno, but higher egts.

I disagree.

313/726 with Adrenaline only.
330/763 with Smarty stacked on SW #8.

I'm talking about the new tunes. The RowJ tune is way more aggressive than the old tunes, quad has the bottom end back now. He actually lost the lowend grunt for a while trying to eliminate all the shuttering problems, but it is now stronger than ever.

I'd be willing to bet in high HP situations that we'll loose power with the stack! I might smack an adrenaline on my truck to see what type of results we see!

I disagree. My truck has alot more bottom end with smarty on #4 and the new 4/3/08 ADR2000 tune. The new tune is really sweet, but seat of the pants the smarty is still giving more off idle fuel. Maybe its just throttle response, but it sure does feel stronger.
