Smarty, Wild TM + rare CA rain = fun

I loaded the wild TM tune today. We also have a weather anomaly here in SoCal, mild rain for more than an hour.

A very fun combo indeed.

Stacked my X2 with the Smarty Jr tonight and got a little sideways myself. Adding some pressure to the Smarty certainly does wonders to an already sweet program.

Even with the mild TM driving in the rain can be fun.

Its was snowing here which is even better, but now it all dried up and I still just cant seem to get any traction driving around town

I had my old man in the truck last night Ive been trying to convince him he needs to sell his ford and buy a cummins, so to help prove my case as we were going about 20 I stood on it and ended up almost completly sideways on dry pavement I didnt have to say a word after that

I probably should not start reading about pressure boxes to add to my smarty. My previous 2004.5 truck was a stripper 2x4. With the stick & no posi in the rain, it was not even fun, it was annoying.

Thats for the best, because I know in my truck fliping on my puck makes it to easy to spin the tires

Big Horn needs to post the photo of when he tried to burn out with his smarty on 3. It could barley burn out.

Wild is touchy. I think I like it so far. Right now I am planning on keeping it where it is. But I may change tomorrow.

FYI, I am running level 7/Wild. I did have it on level 9/Mild TM. The motor seems quieter going from 9 to 7.

It does smoke more right off idle, on Wild TM compared to Mild.
