Smarty Sr installed...
Tuned SW#4... I can now free spin what I thought was a healthy clutch at 1/4 pedal in any gear. I knew the DM was a POS, but man! I need to know how much life you think is left in this clutch even if I go back to stock settings. I didn't smoke it, just felt it a couple of times and got out of it before the big "SHAa-WING". Obviously I need a clutch, I just can't do it right away. What one do you recommend? Do I really need a DD? Do I have to run the Hyd. upgrade if I do the DD? Is the DD even streetable? I need some direction here, I need to AT LEAST get an extra 90 horsepower down! I never felt the clutch slip until I loaded the Smarty.
I wanted a FASS or Airdog before I did the clutch.[verymad] |
If your gonna play you are gonna pay...
Don't screw around, just go buy a South Bend 3600 DD. Trust me once you start to make power your not going to want to stop! good luck to ya, Topper |
Welcome to the smarty world.
If it were me, I'd post another thread asking what kind of clutch you should get, you'll get a lot more responses. Good luck! Next thing you know, you'll be in the poor house over that thing. When the hp bug bites... :) |
On the clutch... Manzel assures me a 3250 will hold me fine. So we'll see.
Question about Smarty though. With the POD, is it detuning from that particular SW#, say from 99% of level 5 to the bottom of 5, or 99% of level 5 all the way to the bottom of 1; if I detune that far? I haven't really fooled with it that much. My stock clutch was slipping still just a little on level 1, so I put the stock program back in till the SB gets here. |
The 3250 is in. Wow, what a clutch. Nice rattle at idle, slight increase in pedal pressure even with hyd. upgrade, not too bad. It's great to finally put the power down. I love it.

Glad you got that clutch. Get some fuel upgrades and then see what it feels like. Oh, yeah, time for a turbo too. And some injectors. And some...
Enjoy that thing, man. |

The way the Smarty POD works is it's a precentage of the total power. Say you have it set to level 5 (100hp est) so the total output would be around say 380hp at the rear wheels at 100%. At 50% the rear wheel power would be half that, around 190 hp. So about 75% would be the stock power level. MikeyB |
