Can Comp tame Smarty's low boost fueling?

[Boondocker]

This is not a Comp vs. Smarty thread. This is Comp AND Smarty question, for those of you who have both!



As a low to non-smoker (preferably), one of the features I liked about the Comp (when I had one) was the low boost de-fueling of the sub-level settings. So I'm wondering, when a CaTCHER program is loaded in the ECM and a Comp is fooling it, who's in charge?



Specifically, will the Comp still de-fuel at low boost (sub-level 1) when the ECM is running a CaTCHER program? Does this just neuter the Smarty program? Or will the CaTCHER override the Comp making the sub-level meaningless? It just seems like these two "programs" are mutually exclusive.



If anyone here has played with that mix, or would like to experiment with it, I would like to know. I'm not asking which makes the most power, that's not the point of the exercise. Also, I prefer the non-wire tapped solution, but Comp main level on 1 makes that irrelevant for this discussion.



I know there a few of you who have the appropriate setup, so I'm hoping you can help answer the question.



Thanks,

Neil

ABSOLUTELY!



In fact, the ONLY way I can run the Smarty around town with my setup (see sig), is to set the Comp on 1x1 for the fuel limiting it provides in that sub-level. It's not a perfect solution, but does at least allow both to be used together for a significant level of smoke reduction.



And yes, the "Smarty effect" in regards to lower end power is still there!



Once in motion, and out on the road, the Comp can then use the advanced settings for more power as needed to fit conditions. This scenario is effective on all Smarty levels, 2-8 with the Comp...

Gary, you don't mention a bigger turbo in either your sig or profile--are you still running the stock turbo?

Still running the OEM turbo - about 34 PSI max boost, and am not really interested in going any higher PSI, since I prefer to not abuse my headgasket, altho it's obvious the Comp and Smarty would easily take more fuel and boost... :-laf:-laf
