Is it untraceable?
Does it adjust on the fly?
Is it updateable? Not just with a hot unlock but for new flashes for ecm?
How long does it take to load?
Can you adjust timeing?
Can you adjust torq?

Time will only tell long term affects on new emission stuff that power added will do. They say nothing about how they control them. But if you don't care then have fun.

I'm completely comfortable with waiting for the Smarty 6.7. I would prefer to await a product that they work out the bugs prior to release and is refined to a point where pretty much all parameters have been taken into consideration before its release.

X2, nothing is perfect. It is either worth working on and making right as it can be, or it is not and it will never happen.

I had an '03 305/555. When the original Smarty was on the horizon, I got impatient and purchased a Bully Dog Triple Dog. I spent $500-whatever on it, only to gain 66 hp when on extreme. Not even close to what was advertised!

I got one of the first Smartys available to the public. Bam! 134-ish hp over stock.

In the end I wasted $$ being impatient. All I know is that the Smarty is worth it. I have one now on my '07, and I'm convinced it's the programmer to have.

I had a brief note from Marco not too long ago and he said all of his energies are presently spent on the 6.7 release. I know it is such a tease to get info and then hang on and wait and wait. We waited for TNT for so long and then the Revo. Now the POS option was a surprise as they kept it secret. The point I am making is that I have watched the progression of Smarty and eventually what is promised is delivered, even if not in a timeframe of our liking. To be fair to them though, I have watched as people whined about getting a tune... they were told to hang on as bugs were being worked out-- more whining ensued, so an early release was made... same people whining got the early release then whined when issues arose and it was pointed out that not all the bugs were worked out and they knew it. You can't have it both ways!

Anyway, all I can say is hang in there, I do believe it will be worth it and Marco is working on getting it out ASAP.

You can get on the Pre-Order list for the Smarty 6.7 and lock in your opportunity to be one of the first to receive one, simply by viewing this thread and sending an email as requested.

We will begin shipping them out in March, so DON"T be left behind!

Did you not read the post above? Product is ready but you have to get on the waiting list. HOWEVER, price has not been determined from what I'm told (TOP correct me if I am wrong). Thats why I choise to standby for now.
