I want to get a smarty for my truck. I have a few questions to ask. First of all can you run a smarty on a lower setting without gauges? Is it possible or should I get the gauges first? the next question is, should I get a clutch before I get a smarty to avoid problems or will the torque controller in the smarty prevent transmission damage? What upgrades would I need to do to my truck to avoid ruining anything with the smarty power (especially on the higher settings of the smarty) and finally what smarty should I run the Senior PoD, the TnT, or maybe one of the others. I would eventually stack chips I think for more HP. All help is greatly appreciated!

 

alright i would go and buy gauges 1st, look at glow shift guages only $200 buck for a package deal (egt,tranny,and boost). yes u can run on a lower setting without guages but whats the point running a programmer on low. no u dont need to get a clutch until its starts sliping or blows (like mine did!) the only upgrade u need to do is get a tranny, nothing else really. just later on get injectors, turbo, ad150/fass150, and cp3 pump. and the POD is kinda gay and a waste of $. just go and get the TNT. call bob wagner at (253) 735 6281, or check out www.wagnerandassociates.biz

 

I actually need a clutch. Im thinking about the Southbend 550 because if I slip it or roast it they upgrade it for free. Thanks for the link. I think im going to have to run 5 gauges in the end though. I already will have the CP3 because I need to replace my broken one now and I already got a FASS 150 so Im half way there almost. Is the TNT Better than the REVO?

 

the tnt is the top of the line smarty! where r u located at? i got some guys in the bay area that do good work!!! but south bend is also good too. ya i have 3 now (egt,tranny, boost) the next 2 would b rp and fp.

 

start out with the gauges (boost pyro fp) and get your clutch. Then once you get the smarty you've got everything you need to run the smarty on the high levels... Like cummins14 said, whats the use of programmer if your going to just run it on the lower levels.

 

Ok. Im in New Mexico. Thats what I was thinking, thats probably what I will do. Thanks! You to Rickaford

 

i have the smarty sr. and with it on sw3 it will slip the clutch a little in 5th gear. i put it on sw5 once and it wouldn't hold full throttle in 3rd, 4th, or 5th. So you def need a clutch upgrade. I am saving up for mine now. so i just leave it on three and ***** foot around. i cant wait to use a higher setting.

 

Alrighty. I will probably wait on the smarty though. Thanks for the info on your clutch!

 

i got my upgrade tranny and i can run on 9 but need bigger injectors and pump.....but i run on 7 with everything on 3's. pretty amazing, driving down the freeway i ran even with a gt mustang.

 

Sweet thats what im looking for. Then injectors and turbo later with head studs. Thanks for the smarty info!
