I think I'd try something to add some timing. If you're worried about the warranty, a Smarty is supposed to be undetectable after returning to stock. A modded air filter box will let it pump more air, as would a Quadzilla boost fooler. All of those items together should net you a considerable mileage improvement as long as you run the Smarty on level 1 and stay out of the throttle. (Good luck with that!)
