Loving My New Smarty JR! Thanks BOB!

[Turbo Kidd]

Like the title states... "I love my new Smarty Jr!" The only complaint I have is... . Why did I wait so long to buy one? Bob, was so easy to deal with. I bought in on Friday, got it Monday... . Installed it Monday... . Drove the snot out of it Monday! I can't tell you if there is an increase in my fuel economy yet (Can't keep my foot out of it. . HEE HEE Oo. ). I can tell you that level 3 is killer. I will report my fuel economy increase or decrease on the next tank .



Thanks Again Bob,



Karl

Yessir, it makes all the difference. Especially with a built transmission!



Congrats!

Bob I am in the market for a tuner and and guages. What can you tell me about the smarty and jr. Which do you rec and why. See truck specs below. I am going to slowly mod my truck. ie intercooler, turbo, beef up transmission, injectors, and more.

DAVE04, I can't stress enough what a "New", or modded transmission can do for you! The Smarty is the best mod I have done for the $$$, however, the transmission is the second best (Most important). However for the $$$ I spent on the trans, it wouldn't be considered the best bang for the buck. I plan on taking my truck to the track in the next few weeks to take a some passes. I am VERY curious where I'm at now. I ran againt my friends modded Ford last night, and I took him by about three truck lengths. He is running 13. 80's all day long at the track. I believe the Smarty and the trans are what helped me beat him.



Good Luck & Love The Smarty!

get the big Smarty... it'll grow with your truck

 

[Dave04]

UUUUMMMM What do I need to do to my transmission. I have heard of people putting allisons in. Also what do I need to have gauges for ie EGT, transmission, boost. What else? Are the stock oil gauges sufficent? Pressure and temp?

 

[Forrest Nearing]

stock oil pressure and water temp gauges are alright... the oil pressure isn't super accurate, but it will notify you if you have a big drop in pressure.



with the big Smarty, if you can get Bob to set you up with the 411 software, you can run it on level 1, 2, or 3 and essentially be running a Smarty Jr.



with those programs EGT's will be lower than factory, so you don't really "need" gauges. I prefer to have gauges so I know exactly what's going on, but for a mild combo like that, they aren't essential



if you've got a healthy 48RE transmission, a good converter and a valve body will go a long way. Might want to do a laminated flexplate while it's apart.



Or you could just bite the bullet and throw down the money up front for a "built" transmission. You can go a long way on a single disk converter, but you'll want a flexplate and a billet input shaft at minimum with your full build.

What brand trany and what should I expect to spend to "bullet proof" my transmission for say 450 HP?

 

[Kday]

That's a loaded question, but I spent about 5k ish for a built trans with a billet input.

I spent $4,800 on my transmission (With billit input, output, Converter, VB... The works)..... and I love it. It was a large commitment to make, however, I love my truck and decided that it was cheaper than a "New" truck that WILL have issues / problems as well. I just turned 97,000 miles on my baby, and the truck looks like "New", so I plan to keep her on the road for at least another 100,000 + miles.
