Smarty Beta and overboost code?

Running the Beta 4.2 and I got an overboost code over the weekend. I thought the program did boost fooling? I was running on a two lane road and the 2 cars in front were going 10 under the speed limit for 20+ miles. So I got a chance to pass and ran her wide open from 45mph to way too fast! On the way up I got the audible alarm, and the CEL. Dont know if the truck defuled, cause I immediately let off when I heard it. I e-mailed the guys, but they must be busy. So whats the deal?

Well thats not good, is the Quad boost fooler working for you? I had one and sold it when I got my smarty thinking I wouldnt need it.

when I had a smarty, i found using a boost fooler works alot better than using the Smarty's aftermarket turbo program. But thats me and MY truck.

I have been getting the boost in low range and also the turbocharger overboost condition on a daily basis causing me to pull over and clear codes. I also thought Smarty should do boost fooling but apparantly it dosnt do enough.

I am running the beta 4.4 version and I didn't get the overboost code I got
P0602 which I thought was just something to do with using the downloader, but when I cleared the code it idles much better. The truck ran fine, just idled bad for a while until clearing the code. My truck idled badly like it did when my bullydog was throwing overboost codes. So its got me wondering.

Trying different setups right now. I pulled the boost fooler off and now it seems like I lost power on the top end but havent thrown the code yet.(2 months) Oh yeah I believe the code was po299 something like that. I started a thread on this about 2 months ago when this happened to me.
