I have a 07 5.9 ctd auto with a afe intake and straight pipe exhaust. I want a smarty but can't decide which one to get. I want smoke but is it worth the extra $200? I won't go over level 3.

If you won't go over level 3 I'd get the Jr.

kyachovitz

Yeah, get the Jr. Level 3 on Jr is 100HP, that's plenty. I don't think the smoke is worth $200.

BRT

Exactly why I got a Jr.

Most people are saying the jr DOES smoke though?

jgiachino

None of the new programs out for sr. or jr. smoke very much compared to the old versions....that's a positive to many people....i'm kind of torn....i missed the smoke for a while, until you can haul Edit without Edit people off...then you get used to not having it....you can still get tailgaters and such, you just have to try harder and lug the motor...the auto's do it great if you get on it at 50mph in 4th gear....or with a higher level if you punch it off the line...

BRT

The Jr will smoke some.
The 100hp setting will leave a good fog if you stay in it.

The Economy and tow very little driving it normal.
Then again, what constitutes normal??

I like the smoke its kind of like showing off for us diesel folks. Thats kind of the reason I want the smarty. My cummins has good power already I just want to put on a show haha. But for the money the jr seems like a good deal

Ran my truck on a dyno stock number was 260hp then we down loaded smarty JR level 3 and it blew us all away 397hp (dyno jet, uncorrected)VERY IMPRESSIVE! GUESS WHAT I'LL BE BUYING NEXT??

jballou

harlydan,
did you just have the jr as the only power adder?

if so impressive! what was the tq?

buddy26

VERY IMPRESSIVE! GUESS WHAT I'LL BE BUYING NEXT??
Me too, I think. I still want as much smoke as my Crazy Larry though, so Im still between Jr and X2(for the gauge)

Go big (Smarty Sr.) cause your always gonna want just a lil extra

SmokeNoisePower

Once you try level 3, your gonna want to see what 5 is like. A smarty is like an addictive drug...you're gonna want more. Might as well go with the Sr., it has my vote.

harlydan

We did not get the tq because the big guys with the 1000hp motors broke it. and I had my edge Juice W/Attitude plugged in on the 0 level just to monitor the levels and for mods air box has a 4" down tube with amsoil air filter and the muffler is MIA. But if I install the JR I'll need more air because it pulled my indicator on my box lid all the way in.

I am thinking about going with the JR as well but was curious what the TM is like compared to the SR model? Also, what are the EGT's like with the JR towing? I have the XZT now and the power is good but it does run the EGT's up quick while towing and that is why I wanted the box. Pulling a small load of around 3K on level three the pyro will hit and hold 1450-1500 easily.

One last thing, what can I expect from JR compared to my XZT box? I like the smooth power and driveability of the XZT, will the JR keep the same driving characteristcs? All info will be appreciated.
