Default Smarty or EFI Live?

2 trucks,

a 04 dodge, intake, exhaust and smarty TNT

or

an 03 Dmax intake exhaust and EFI Live

considering all other variables were the same (i.e. tire size) who would win?

the chevy depending on the EFI tune....500hp is possible on all stock parts on a LB7 with the correct tune, but that's givin that the trans will hold it.....havnt seen anyone make 500 on a CR with a stock turbo

but id say it would be a coin toss if both got stock trans

I would say the Dmax with EFI live (with a good tune of course), especially if you had a Transgo Jr. on the Allison.

transgo jr. wont do much on a 5-speed, its more of a 6-speed thing, you need the whole transgo kit for the 5-speed, but it involves dropping the trans to install it

I agree with Cummin_un_glued, its a toss up if the transmissions can hold, because i know the 48re cant handle sw9, let alone the TNT tuning

The allison could handle the power, but not long.... limp mode would be imminent

I'm with you on this one, it's supposed to essentially be EFI Live for the Cummins

If the dodge doesn't have a built trans it will take a dump too

EFI live is shortly on the way for the 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins

Im not saying anything against Marco or Bob Wagner or any of the guys at MADS, they're a good group of dudes, But EFI allows for at the track modifications to the tune that a Smarty cant give you right now, not that I know of anyways
