My Smarty Jr. does that too. I've only used it to flash the truck three times in three years. Once to up the power level and once to up the level one last time with a code update.
Maybe I'm just an "average Joe?"
No, I think not. I spent all day yesterday rebuilding my valve body with a Transgo SK 48-RE shift kit. Best bang for the buck ever: $70. I don't have alot of time (or money) to fart around, so when I do, I try to make it count. Fiddling around with tunes is a waste if time. For me, at least.

To me, that means so much more time wasting. ...and money spent time wasting.
If you think a few horsepower here or some useless data there is worth the money, by all means, go for it.
It's just another example of the marketing machine raking in your heard-earned dollars.

How is EFI Live overpriced when its cheaper than a Smarty???
It's good your Smarty Jr works for you but some people want more than 100hp out of a tuner. Can the Smarty Jr change parameters to compensate for larger injectors? Larger CP3? Larger Turbo?

Oh, I remember now: You like to waste your time tinkering with tunes.
If that's what blows your skirt up, by all means, go for it!

Because the OP has an ideal candidate for EFI Live.

Riiiiight.
EFI Live is all about trial and error. Why else all the frequent changes/updates referring to all that data you are logging?
Are you people for real?

Its not trial and error its log and tune. If you know how to read the data then the changes are calculated not shots in the dark like picking a number 1-9 for duration or 1-4 for timing and rail pressure.
Pick up last years issue of diesel power mag that covered the TS race. In the article it takes about 2 trucks that were Dyno tuned that day. One of them was a truck I was tuning on. 3 pulls we picked up 12hp per pull never went backwards on power just picked up 36 rwhp on 35" tires with very minor changes to timing and duration.
No other tuner on the market offers the fine tuning ability of efi live you can not argue that point.
Is it for everyone no. Is it more expensive no. If you don't want it on your truck we don't care. We are simply correcting your false information to the OP.
The only person here wasting anybody's time is you by bashing a product with false information. If you have nothing more to add then you know where the door is.
