It'll wake your truck right up! Approx. 60 rwhp and comes on right now. Gauges will be a must.
 
hey baja bob, i see you are from San Diego. I been wanting a Smarty in a bad way, but i cant bring myself to drop 700 without testing it or trying it is what i meant. Could there be a chance you would let me try it, i would be willing to pay a fee.

JBello,I just called Bob Wagner and left a message. If it's OK with him you can come over and we'll hook you up. You'll just have to ship it to the next member. You'll be duly impressed especially if you have a stock truck. Smoking out bicyclists riding four abreast and yakking on 101 yesterday was fun. :p Smoke control is an acquired skill on #9. ULSD definitely still smokes on a 2nd gen. with Smarty on #9. Ask the bicyclists.

P. M. 'd you. Give me a call.
 
Hey guys, Dave and Bob Aloha... ... ... ... ... ... . Dont forget to tell him easy on # 9 Stock clutches smoke lovely... Hey guys be cool... ... ... . Smarty is running fine. ALOOOHA Ron
 
Finally tried one on my brother's 99 yesterday. Come to find out a guy 4 miles from me had one. Anyway, we thought that the truck felt strong before, but it pulled way harder with the Smarty on 8. I am not sure that it made a big difference on power at the top end but it felt alot stonger on the bottom.

We didn't try any other settings due to time, but it was fun while it lasted.

I just love my Smarty and M4's, the bicycle spray option is so much fun!!

They just vanish in the black cloud of payback.

I've got utmost respect for the bicyclists who stay over in the bike lane and concentrate on their workout. It's the socializers who block traffic and run stop signs who deserve the blackout. Luckily with Smarty and a lead foot,you've always got your secret weapon. :cool:
 
I have worn out many michelin slicks on my road bike :D As well as other brands, never hold up traffic and I can guaranty I will beat damn near any car through Laguna beach on a week-end with out running any lights. My favorite ride has to be Rosarito beach to Ensenada Oo. Not much diesel traffic to watch for mostly stray dogs,drunks and small children

Bob,it now would take you longer to get back to the U. S. than the ride from Rosarito to Ensenada. Morning line-ups have been averaging over two hrs. for commuters. Also,on our Aug. trip I stopped counting when I hit thirty stoplights between San Miguel and Maneadero. The lights are on timers so you are looking vainly for cross traffic which seldom appears. :confused: I miss the old days driving my '62 Falcon wagon. Ten cent fish tacos,$. 50 Pemex,and cheap tequila and beer. :) Of course I could touch my toes back then with knees locked. :{ I remember Laguna Beach before rainbow flags too. (Boy I am dating myself. )

We don't seem to have very many of that rare breed around here. If they are in the lane that is provided just for them to use, I'll gladly cut them slack :)
 
Marc, My shop is located just outside Trenton, NJ if you want to make the trip down here you can load my Smarty into your truck for a test. Matt

Do you have an adjustable boost elbow on your turbo? If not your wastegate is opening and letting the exhaust gases by.
