A little bottom end power, none on a dyno. IMO your $$ would be better spent on a bigger trubo and bigger sticks.

IMO you will outgrow that hx40 quick if you ever go to bigger injectors or much anything else. I've got the HTT 62/14 with about the same setup as you and I love it.

Not much IMO, get you a ps62 or sps62. Much more reliable and supports more HP.

Hx40 is now considered to be old school and they're known for snapping shafts when used in a performance application, but it'll get the job done. A plain jane s300, hx40, or a 35/40 hybrid is all you're going to find for less than a grand, unless you wanted to run something way to big *insert evil smirk here*

NOt to stir a pot, but that sounds a little like smarty haterade.

A "little" bottom end is misleading.

No power on a dyno is simply untrue. A smarty will demonstrate power on a dyno, if the dyno can generate any load at all...

He's running a tapped Juice, so I'd tend to agree with Blackdiesel. You can only get so much out of the ECM, and the Juice is already doing it.

Not a smarty hater, at all. Of all the mods I had on my truck over the years, (edge comp, tst pm3 comp, jammer 4's, mach 6's, sps62, snow stage 2 W/M, and I'm sure I'm missing something) The smarty is all that I'm running now. He just needs more air. Rather than spending $650 on more low end smoke and higher egt's with no more net gain HP. It would shave around 2th's off your 1/4 mile time, if you play with it and find the right setting (even #'s only with that edge) JMO
