Alright I'm running my Smarty on #9 and want a little more kick in the pants. Would love to dyno at around 500hp. Should I do a module? I wanna stay fuel efficient and reliable.

Have you loaded the TNT software yet? Its pretty nasty with everything set to kill. I use my MP-8 to control the rail pressure because I can get a little more pressure than what the Smarty commands.

X2 on the Dia-blow. I have a fried ECM in my basement because of it.

hmmm reading up on the TNT tune, it sounds like it might be a bit advanced for the mods I have. Any other thoughts?

If you did the 4.2 or TNT you would be right at 500hp. I think I dynoed on the 4.09 and I think it was 412hp.

I'd be looking at turbos or stix.

If you're looking to just hit 500hp you could stack a mp-8 or TST and be there.
