If u didn't u need to unzip it with the 7 zip program. It's on mads site

 

[Kurt Henzler]

thefolder and file Smt406dbeta44 47. 7z does not give you this option to unzip. if you rt click on the file it does not give you the extraction or upzip choice

So the old driver does not work anymore?

Driver works, you just need the new zip program.

name withheld but seems very happy



Bob,







After a 25 mile test drive with the beta software on SW9, all I can say is WOW!! It took the positives of both the Bully Dog Crazy Larry tune and the existing Smarty SWs and combined them while throwing the negatives of both out the window!







The smoke level is perfect. It has a very touchy throttle, which I like, and will smoke like crazy if I’m not careful, but the truck can get moving quickly in traffic without anything but a light haze, which is good enough for me. The bully dog would do the same, but with less throttle response. Max boost I saw was 46 psi, perfect. I hit 52 psi once and a while with the Bully Dog or old SW9. Top end power is phenomenal! It no longer has a noticeable flat spot after 3,000 RPM like with the other programs. It pulled hard to 3500 RPM and also quit fueling when clutching in for shifts, something the bully dog wouldn’t do on crazy larry. The smoke clears up to just a haze after the boost onset at WOT. Also, no where near as much timing rattle at idle or 2,000 RPM as the old SWs! One of the best things about it is how quickly it lights the turbo, considering how tolerable the smoke levels are. I am stacked with a TS MP8 which probably helps, but even with this stack on any tune w/ the bully dog, it wouldn’t light the turbo anywhere as quickly as the beta program. I even think it lights faster than the wild tq management program on the old SW, but with a fraction of the smoke. I’m running a II Silver 62 turbo and it’s added lag over stock was almost making think of going back to stock, but after driving on the beta SW9, I am in love with this set up. I never ran the truck long enough, and through enough gears, to see any high EGTs. I think the most I saw were 1100, which is under the peaks I would hit with the old SW9.







Tell Marco you’ve got one more INCREDIBLY pleased beta tester. I would like to try and hit the dyno again soon. With the Wild SW9 the truck made 535 HP/974 TQ. With the Crazy Larry it made 540 HP/993 TQ. Even if it doesn’t blow away these numbers, the power curve has got to be much better. I really need to get the truck back to the drag strip as well.







Thanks,

bob, just loaded and test drove first time . i have a ton of smoke. runs great, lots of power but smoke is same as other program. i am stock except for ram air 3 air filter and gauges. does this matter. did you email me program for a stock truck.

thanks

check for boost leaks in the mean time and wait for marco to publish a software with stock tq, this may be to aggressive for your driving style
