play then you are going to pay...
Still set on SW-2 DD (not planning to mess with the pod). It's amazing...most of you would be very proud of me (I know I am)...I have resisted the urge to just hammer on it to see what she will really do. I have rolled into it about 3/4 WOT and have still been SUPER impressed!
The biggest advantage I have found is the throttle response and drive ability...it truly rolls up to speed MUCH smoother (and obviously faster) than I could have expected.
I figure this weekend I'll probably tune her up to SW 3...make a quick turn around town (so I know what to look forward to). Come home and dial her back down to SW 1, TM 2, TQ 4 (this seems to be a popular "recipe" for daily driving).
Again...it's been a HUGE plus being able to bounce these suggestions and findings off you guys! I can't belive I waited so long to join....

Funny how that works...I have a neighbor with a 08 6.7...we pretty much go tit for tat (I think I one uped him on the Smarty...and he knows it after taking a test drive)

I'm sure he'll be joining the ranks here shortly! (and yes...our wives are careful about how much time we spend together)

Sw 3

Had my fun this weekend boys.
Set her on SW 3 DD just for a taste!! WOW.... (Should have never done that ). Now I'm addicted to the power, but no funds to support the tranny upgrades needed for for that application.

Shocked and impressed with the SOLID power gains in SW 3!!! Barely got into it and she was barking the tires on take-off....I pretty much alerted the wife that we needed to start putting aside for a trans fund NOW!
