Default which one?

i'm sure this question has been to asked before but i have been hearing a lot more about this diablo sport trinity? i will be adding on a programmer after the first of the year and its down to the smarty or the trinity? I know a lot of guys like the smarty but what about the trinity? can you tell me everything good,bad,ugly about both and any experiences with them too. I pull a lot and almost everyday so i want something that is not gonna run to hot and something that is reliable too. thanks in advance

You have a 12V - how can you possibly answer that question?


Just curious.

the smarty hands down if you want to tow and have great milage with the flexibility to set a multitude of options you just can't go wrong! Bob has put many years into perfecting this programmer and he is always available thru multiple sites if you have any questions! The S-pod covers 03 to 07 so your covered. get a good guage pod so you can watch your vitals. I run a quadzilla with a scan guage and after the smarty install on 7 at 60% I'm getting on average 25mpg. If I drive slower I've hit 27 .8 that's 65 at 2000rpm

I'm getting a built tranny right now and it should be done tomorrow only problem is we had a blizzard today and throughout the night so might not get it till friday, but anyways I also just bought a set of pillar gauges egt,boost,and trans temp my only concern is do I also need fp? I think I will go with a jr for now but like I asked how is the trinity or is it not that good for dodge?

We have had much better results from the Smarty. Just make sure you get aftermarket Guages. Id recommend Boost, Pyro and Rail Pressure.

If your going with the smarty you might as well go with the Sr. if you have intentions of higher hp in the future. Better to go ahead and spend a little more than have to buy both of them.
