hua... i was jw.

i agree, the smarty is good for the track, and butt dyno. i have heard of of minimal power gain, and power loss. its like the smarty chokes the turbo out on the bottom end.

I think the VP just runs out of fuel.

makes since, the smarty just falls on its face so hard after 2700rpm it hurts hp. also explanes why guys who run theirs on lower power levels get better results.

Yup. I lost ~50hp on the dyno when I added the Smarty to my TST box.

Personally I think you will be better off with something else on the truck like edge or quadzilla. I agree with the before mentioning of the smarty causing the VP to run out of fuel. Because I know that on the 3rd gens the fuel pressure and everything is there with the CP3 and it will eat up all the fuel you throw at it cause there is the means to do it where the VP44 would probably fall short. It seems like you need a chip that will effectively fuel down low and continue to fuel almost on a lower level than something like the smarty that just pours the fuel.
