tst-smarty-mp8 vs tst-ppe-mp8

I have heard good things about the tst-smarty-mp8 stack, but it seems like it would sure be hard beat the ppe 315 hp programmer in there, any suggestions appreciated

TST + EZ One of the best stacks around. The EZ is a low pressure box hence longer relief valve and injector life.

I don't have a TST (YET) but I do have the Smarty. I have been told that a Smarty TST PM3 stack is hard to beat.

I'm planning on running the TST and Smarty stack, and then for dyno's or drag racing the TST, MP 8, and the Smarty, but I need head studs, a tranny, and a FASS before all that happens

My stock cp3 is doing decent with the tst/bully dog/mp-8 stack. A stage 2 would work better for sure but I think he will get by for a while.

What settings do you have your boxes on? Do you gain any power by turning your TST all the way up in conjunction with the downloader and box?

Luken,

Which TST program are you running, standard, early twins or late twins? Do you have timing option on the TST??

Standard tst and I don't have the timing option.

I don't know if we dyno'ed with the tst on 5x_ or not. I remember on 7x2 + Crazy Larry it was 640.

I only gained 20hp from 7x2 to 7x5. Anything over that and it started going downhill.
