03 04 Smarty or Diablo Stack? What is everyone using?
Like it says what do you 03 04 guys like to run?
Smarty stacked with Quad race or regular?
Diablo stacked with power puck?
I have the regular Quad now but am looking for more. I hear a lot about both but it's still kinda hard to make a decision.

My Smarty MP8 stack is in the mid 400's with a slipping stock clutch.
I wonder what kind of #'s I could lay down with a strong clutch.
I'm not going to buy a TST or any other electronic mod until I see what the new tuneable VA will do for us that have 03-04.
I hope and pray that us 03-04 guys will finally have the electronic advantage that the 04.5+ guys have had for the past 3 years.
I'm tired of getting the short end of the stick when it comes to HP #'s even after I've changed out all the so called parts that give out 03-04's weaker #'s.
All things should be equal given you have the same turbos, injectors, but they never seem to be. Hopefully this will change

Well I found a ton of info and I think I'm going to try the diablo stack, I know with my Quad I could go Smarty but I'm still not sure as the Quad does all 3 timing,duration,pressure, and the Smarty does this as well except timing on certain levels, so I'm just talking myself into something new and want to SMASH those D-maxes, Fords well they just can't seem to get off the hook.

keep in mind the supporting mods these guys in this thread with big numbers have... They have turbos, and fully built transmissions. You will need a built trans if you stack that much power.

The Quad does very little duration, mostly pressure/timing, you dont want to add any more pressure, only duration and maybe a LITTLE timing. If I were you, I'd buy a Smarty or try the infamous Diablo stack. The only thing in the back of my mind is how much customer support are you going to get from Diablo? I had a bad experience w/ them, therefore I would not buy their product. You will be amazed at how much support you will get from Quad and the Smarty folks (Bob & Marco).
The Quad/Diablo stack I run is very powerful, to me anyway. I won't have any numbers for a few weeks to verify.
