the way the bost comes on is a little diferent than alot of other programers. it's diferent even than other versions of the smarty software.
the reason for seeing the lower boost is due to the increse in eficency the engine is not working as hard. effort=boost.
im a beta tester for marco/bob, i have run almost every version of the software out there. when i was asked to test the smarty jr software i was sceptical at first, but kept an open mind. due to the fuel/timing maps that the smarty/jr use it is much more melow than previous software, it also doesnt build boost or egt's as quick as previous versions. boy was i suprised when i hit the dyno for an entire day of testing. the software makes every bit of clamed power (and then some)
my take on a tuner vs. a box:
id much rather have a tuner that properly maps the fuel/timing/presure curves, than to deal with the issues and shortcomings from a box that is trying to fool the ecm into doing something.
yes the xtz might " feel more fun " but hit the dyno, run it down the road , throw a load on it, test it however you want, i bet the smarty/jr will outperform it. not only in sheer power, but egt, economy, and driveability. dont confuse choppy power delivery with more power.
