i have the smarty and love it.........my stock clutch not so much. the service is awesome and reading the codes and readjusting the speedo would be hard to live without.

i havent tried anything other than my 6gun and smarty but you cant go wrong with the smarty.

I use a TST Power Max 37 and like it alot. I also like the Smarty that is on my wifes 05 but I prefer the ability to adjust on the fly. I can smoke the stock clutch with ease so a new clutch is on order.
Good luck,
Topper

I just bought a Smarty after a long decision process, but I havent recieved it yet. I was really thinking about getting the diablo, but It seemed like my Quad box is gonna stack better with the Smarty. Heck with this new software, we might not need to stack anything. I cant see why what bob/marco are coming out with wont be better than the diablo stack. Heck he just wrote it!!!

Diablo can make you any tune you may need for any setup you may have in the future. On top of the 60,100,160 and 200hp tune they have now for the 305/555. Their customer service rocks. You can't go by what the (325/600) 04.5 and up guys are saying. They have a different set up than the 305/555. Like with the triple dog it doesn't have a crazy larry tune for the 305/555. Now I have seen some good #'s with the smarty but for the money the only difference is you can recalibrate for tire size with the smarty and it's about $600 or $650. Now I got my diablo predator/puck stack for $380 shipped, thats a programmer and a duration/timing box for $380. I did not see a reason to pay 250 bucks more just so I could recalibrate my tires. I think smarty just has one heck off a mark up on there price if Diablo can sale theres for $380 with a the puck and you know Diablo's still making money at price.

Also would like to know which one to get.

So it sounds like the diablo is one of the better ways to go. But if i put that in my truck would i have to do a clutch and if so which one and how much will it cost. and i know i will have to do gauges but what else would need done. and which setting would be best for SMOKE that is the biggest reason i want it. and is there a way to get smoke with out buying a chip and having to get gauges to say money. i'm not really that big on chipping it cause with my old 7.3 i had it supperchiped for a few months and it couldn't handle it. tubo started to go and the rear main seal went as well so i am looking to not kill my new truck cause it's to much money to fix it. Looking for Cheap Smoke...

Price difference between the smarty and diablo/puck.. Yeah there is some.. Buuuut... Smarty is "undetectable" Diablo not so much.. Custom tunes.. Look at mads site there is custom tunes, infact a page long.. They are constantly adding new stuff and beta testers are all over here on these boards.. My vote..

SMARTY!!
