MP-8 vs Dr Performance

Trying to decide which of the two to purchase. Both seem to be used by many and recommended.
If there are some negatives to either modules I would appreciate some insite.

I currently run the Smarty........from what I've read Dr. P does timing as well as pressure is this good??

TIA

I have had both and I like the Mp-8 better because it has more adjustability.

If you buy the model 2018 dr. p performance predator it does not do any timing, Just pressure. It is a great stack with the current version of smarty!! But personally, I wouldnt bother with either of them, the current beta smarty runs pressure, and if you already have one, I would save your $400 bucks, and wait a couple of months for the beta software too be available!!

The Predator does pressure much nicer than the MP 8,, the mp 8 is hard on injectors, the pred ramps up pressure in a nicer manor, which is ultimatly easier on injectors

I guess ive been out of it a while, what does the beta do? Are you saying that I will be able to download a preassure adjustable version of the smarty? Probably a dumb ? but I just dont get it.

A couple months until the beta version is released?? I was hoping it would be more like a couple days/weeks!
