well im back to cummins after loseing my stroker, looking to put some type of programer,chip ect in my 01, any opinions? i was thinking smartys, edge or quadzilla, but also on that note i work at a diesel repair shop, and the boss said he flashes stuff into big trucks ecm's all the time, so what im asking is do i need something like a smartys if i can make a custom flash on the stock ecm?

P.S. its good to be back

I guess it would depend on how much you are looking for. I can only imagine that the program flashed into your ECM from your boss wouldn't be as aggressive as a Smarty setup. I also think there is a lot of research behind the Smarty settings, and are made safe for the engine in regards to timing and fueling.
