good stack for an 03 ????

Ok, since I am a bit new to this moding game, ( I come from the days when you turned a screw on the pump to get more power!!!) can I safely combine my smarty jr. and my power puck? If yes, what settings? I drive sensably, but I tow upwards of 8-10k 2-3 days a week. What about mileage? I know some of you already thought of this, so HELP please!

I' m running the JR stacked with a Dr.Performance box(similar to the Puck) and it's been a great stack for me. Has good bottom end and it will pull to 120 easy. EGT's stay in check at 1100-1200*

I run the JR on #3 year round except during the winter months(to much power for the slippery roads). I see a consistent 18-19mpg on the highway.

If your wanting to go big power, get the Smarty SR. My SR will still beat my stack. Either way you go you will enjoy it.

I would also like to do this stack on my 03 I also run my Jr on #3 and would like the Dr.p stage II, is it plug and play? or is there some hidden set up that needs to be done? I have the older version of the Jr software, do I need the newer version so i can adjust the timing separately, If so what would you set it at? I read on here you can run two timing units stacked and it make sense to me but I dont know how one would set this up.
can someone explain for another newbie.
Thanks and hope i didn't hijack this thread just trying to learn on this subject too

The Jr. and the puck would make a great stack. But personally I wouldn't run pressure for daily driving. You should be able to run the Jr at the 100hp setting with no issues. Just use the pressure for making kills or on the dyno.

smarty senior and power puck is a great stack because you can turn the puck off when you dont want added pressure

You bet your butt it rocks the 03. Get the S06 and run the revo, you will love it. Looks like you want more power, so get the SO6 and you might not need to stack.....at least not yet..... A good stack needs the correct mods...

What's your EGTs when the Dr. P is on during WOT? And what level on the Dr. P?

Power Puck is a Diablosport product. It is a good and inexpensive pressure box with 60 and 90 hp switch. They can be had for under $200 new.

Not to sure on the level, it has off/tow/kill, I think its rated for 100hp.
Temps are to hot to tow with, but seem manageable (1350) for the short blasts I use it for.
