How would you change the 3rd gen Smarty?

When Marco finds time, what changes to the initial programming would you like? For me, the smoke while "light footing it" bothers me. Even very gentle acceleration from a stop will produce a pretty heavy gray haze or black smoke even on low settings. That being said, I could care less about smoke under heavy throttle.

Also, driving light footed with Smarty, it makes my tranny shift into 3rd gear by 10mph

= very annoying. If I download stock software back in, or if I floor it with Smarty software installed, it will shift great, so it's not the tranny.

If I could suggest anything, I would like to see the power applied more linear the throttle pedal movement, if that makes sense.

I like the low boost fueling, but I wish it wouldn't happen at 1" of thottle movement. I believe this is the main cause of my tranny problem. Other than that I think it's a great product, and it shows alot of promise!
