Default smarty power levels

Sorry guys i have looked every where and can not find any thing telling me what horsepower will be added at what level. 0-9 are a mystery as far as hp and torque. thanks
john

p.s. what all would be needed, to hold a solid 325-350 hp, to a auto tranny.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Nobody knows how much power the smarty can deliver? Or what I would need to do to a auto tranny to hold 325ish horsepower?

From everything I have seen with mine and everything I have read, there really isn't much of a horsepower gain with the Smarty. You definatly feel the power increase, just no extra dyno numbers.

So it adds timing and that's about it. What about making a auto tranny hold up to 325 hp reliably?

Triple Billet TQ, and a Shift Kit. Depending on the miles, a full rebuild as well.

This is from Smarty site
The power gain at top Rpm with these softwares is almost identical. These
softwares differ greatly in HOW they get there. Than higher the software number
then more aggressive the throttle response from idle speed up. Aggressive to
the point that the softwares Eight and Nine can become difficult to handle on
slippery roads. Please be very careful when you use these softwares for the first
time! It takes some time to learn how to handle them.

the smarty adds like 65hp. just sell the ez and get an edge comp. The smarty comp stack you loose hp and top end. If you want 325hp at the wheels the comp will put you real close. Depending on the miles of the trans I would just drive it till the auto gives up and then built it proper. A high mileage trans that you add parts to is just a band aid and you will have to spend money to have the converter checked out when the trans parts.

EZ stacked with TST PM3 is a great combo. I ran that combo with the Smarty also. You'll like it.

that is for the odd or even numbers. even being no timing added. and odd timing added, so sw#8 is the same h.p as sw#9. but sw#9 reachs that power quicker due to added timing,
