Ok, so i broke down and ordered a smarty, along with 4" Flo Pro Turbo back and S&B CAI, what power levels are safe to run with a stock Automatic. Unloaded and then when pulling around 6000lbs? I know it says to not run on 1 while pulling, just trying to not fry my IP or speed up the process of the inevitable, rebuilding my tranny. I'm not looking for 800hp out of the smarty, just some mpgs and a little more bottom end. To go along with that, i do not have gauges yet, are there any EGT issues associated with my setup and the smarty at any power level with stock injectors/turbo?

 

i think from 1998.5 through 2002 the smarty adds like 60hp-70hp, and if you want more power you can always stack the smarty with an edge or something

 

you should be fine running it on any level empty as long as you can see fuel pressure.....as far as towing follow their specs but i wouldn't tow without an egt gauge and fuel pressure gauge

 

the smarty can go up to 140hp level 9 not 70hp.... and no DO NOT STACK chips on stock auto. safe level to run is 1-6, once in a while you can put it up to 9 but dont leave it on that all the time, when towing you want to put it on level 2

 

Not on a VP truck, 70 rwhp max usually less, will cause power loss with big fuel trucks

Yup its more like 65hp on a VP44 truck.

 

"Diesel Dawgs" Since you posted on this i'll go ahead and bug you this way, whats the usual turnaround on orders? i order CAI and Exhaust thursday then smarty on friday. sorry, just gettin antsy.

 

I wouldn't run over 5 empty and 3 loaded. Stock autos suck

 

Usually takes 2-3 business days for shipping time.
