07 Smarty Install post flight debrief!

Got it today.

Installed on level 3 (60hp + timing): nice power increase, low end response, turbo spool. Not great, but nice, certainly better than stock.

Bumped up to level 5 (90hp + timing): now this is the way I prefer it, very good power increase, low end response, and interstate acceleration awesome. This level is more me after having my 03 with the Banks, then TST. Level 3 was like dating an average girl, Level 5 like moving up to J-Lo -and of course stock is ugly .

Not worried about stock tranny, cause I can control that. Just cause you use a higher tune doesn't mean the tranny explodes, that is all your right foot. On level 5 the truck is very docile if you want it to be.

What is amazing, is the fact that it takes a few minutes and you just increased your horse-p by almost 30% and even more torque. That would cost you $5000 with a gas motor.

No glitches at all, good instructions, very easy. Kudos to Madd Electronics and Marco.
