Loaded the 4.4/level 9 Smarty today - WOW!

I loaded the S06V410C_BA441_47.7z tune that Bob Wagner was nice enough to share with me. Wow. Part throttle crusing around town is so effortless, and I feel a lot more power when I get on it. I was running the Dec 13th, Wild TM tune. I swear there is less smoke. I have not got that much seat time with it, though. I will report back with more feedback.

Thanx Bob.

ps - I am not going for any extended WOT runs (over a few seconds) until I get my Airdog ordered & installed.

I've ran the 4.4 for a long time on 9, and I went back to the 4.3 version, seems to have more get up and go with my tight converter. I'm sooooo waiting for the 230hp race version to come out.... my truck feels so slow for some reason... I know it's not because I just beat an 06 ZR1 from 0-118 give or take.... I had borrowed a Predator box to stack for a few days and this guy from work has an 06.... well today his mouth got the best of him. I did a 20lb boosted 4X4 launch with the predator box off and Smarty 4.3 on 9. I had him by a length until I was outta RPMS... AND my EGT's only hit 1360.. we ran again with the predator on the middle setting and I had him almost by two lengths and egts of 1400

if we all pray really hard to the Smarty gods..... they may deliver upon us the latest version.

I also really dig the 4.3 on my truck, more power then 4.4 the peak power on a dyno I have been told, is fairly close but the 4.3 fuels way harder on bottom end similar to the 05 scary larry tune.

running a big single charger the smoke is insane for the city streets with 4.3 not to mention a huge bust cause you can see the truck from a mile away at WOT...
