Boost Fooler?

Is it a waste of money to add a boost fooler to my truck if I am already running a smarty? Doesn't the smarty do the boost fooling or will an aftermarket fooler such as quadzilla help or improve anything?
Thanks

boost question

Ok here's my question for those smarter than me.
Can I raise the boost with my smarty Jr without using more fuel ?
needing to get better mpg.
more boost more power, more power less gas pedal applied= fuel savings ?
I don't know crap about all the settings in the smarty jr, I just use it to do the deletes and have it set to the + 30 hp setting I think its been that way for almost 2 years now. I get 18-20 mpg if I keep my foot out of it. Towing my 5er is a another story. Also where can I find out what all the abbreviations you guys talk about mean ? Thanks

Boost control from the VGT is not going to give better mileage simply by upping the boost pressure. Timing from the Smarty is the most effective on the mileage along with some tuning of the VGT response. The mileage setting on the SR. Smarty is VGT of 3 which is slower than stock for boost response, but keeps the fuel in check for no smoke. Its suggested for heavy towing and better mileage. I didn't see a big difference.

The mileage you are getting seems to be right in the main average for a deleted truck. I have only gotten over 20 mpgus when keeping under 65 mph and flat highway driving.
