Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Since the cat is already outta the bag, I'll try to provide you the informations about the new software from the "horse's mouth ".
<center>Power on Demand </center>
Foreword:
The most frequent request we've had from our cutomers over the years is to change the power level of our downloaders “on the fly”. Without the need to download a different software each time. We started the R&D of such systems back in 2005.
Yet, we were never completely satisfied with the outcome. We wanted to be able to really fine tune the engine operating parameters and at the same time the “system” had to be simple, reliable, safe and FAST enough to gain the status of “ on the fly “. Our staff researched a totally new power tuning concept for years. Fast forward to today...
Power on Demand, in short PoD.
There are two distinct concepts involved with the PoD.
First and and most important, provide the ability to select the power output the customer wants within seconds. With the PoD this can be done with the engine off ( key on ), at idle or while driving the truck. The customer simply needs to plug the Smarty into the OBD port, select the PoD menu and type in a # comprised between 01 and 99. Where “99” is the full power potential of the performance software loaded into the ECM and “ 01 “ is the lowest power setting possible. In other words, the PoD allows to REDUCE the power output of the engine in 99 fine steps. From full power to hardly able to move the truck in just seconds!
This brings us to the second concept with the PoD.
MILEAGE.
Let's start this section with a question. Do you really always need even the stock power from the engine?
The stock Hp of the 5. 9L Cummins engine has been increased from 180Hp to 300+ in less than ten years. How were we able to drive and tow with only 180 Hp back then? In turn the engines with the lower Hp rating did get better MPG's. The automotive world used the new injection and combustion technologies, that have become availabel with the introduction of electronic engine controls, to increase the horsepower output of the engines rather than for better fuel economy.
The equation goes like this : less horsepower = less fuel.
Think about situations like stop and go traffic, cruising at 60 Mph... . With todays fuel prices, wouldn't it be good to be able to REDUCE the power of the engine to less than stock? Maintaining all the engine tuning parameters, and in turn get better mileage! Less horsepower, less stress on all the drivetrain components equals to increased longevity too.
With the PoD's ability to fine tune the power this becomes a reality!
