New to me Smarty thoughts

Just traded my Edge for a Smarty POD. So far i love it and don't think i would ever go back. I am set on SW7 with everything default for now and POD 84. With the EDGE on any of the higher levels such as 4 5 or 6 my flywheel used to slip instantly. Since the power comes on gradually with Smarty, i am able to achieve a higher horsepower without slipping at all. Once i found my slip point i backed away a bit on my POD setting and its been perfect to say the least. The truck also seems to idle and accelerate much much smoother. I cannot get my EGT,s above 1000. With the Ege i was able to achieve 1300 without a problem. It also seems to be a bit easier on the drive train as oppose to the Edge. Once my fuel pump and clutch are in i will do some tuning. I think Smarty and I will have a long and prosperous future ahead of us. Thanks for reading. Here are some pics. of my install:
