Which one is better? Anyone with a comp switch to a smarty? Are you happy or do you regret it? How much is a Smarty and what exactly does it do?
Thanks guys,
Matt

 

Neither, a Juice. The Comp is basically outdated and is on it's way out. The Juice is the exact same box but with more features.

The Smarty gives you more low end power, but t Comp/Juice gives you more top end and in general more power.

This is how I see it, if you have an auto, get a Juice. As soon as you get going you don't drop RPM's really low anyway and the turbo stays spooled.

With a manual, get a Smarty. It's faster spool up and punchy low end works really well with having to respool the turbo 4-5 times going through the gears.

 

A Smarty is loosely more like an EZ or Van Aaken, though the comes on a lot faster and harder than either of those.

A Smarty isn't designed to replace a Comp. Comp taps the wire-- smarty does NOT. They are different animals.

If you want peak dyno HP, a Comp will make more power.

If you want big ***** on the bottom-- Smarty is your e-ticket.

Smarty typically sells for $650, IIRC.

Smarty is a programmer that contains multiple custom softwares for your truck's computer. It's not an "add-on" like other modules are.

The Comp will make more power because of the wire tap. The smarty doesn't tap the wire, so it can't overfuel like the Comp does.


Having had a Smarty for a while now, you couldn't GIVE me a Comp

 

Where can one find out more info about the Smarty?

Get both!
Smarty= low end
Comp= top end

 

Dang it! You beat me to it! haha.......

Like Hohn said....its apples to oranges......they are both good in their own field......

A better compairson would be a Smarty and an EZ.......but do we need to go there?

 

i went from a comp to a smarty. and i would keep the smarty over the comp. its got way more ***** on the low end. like ALOT! get the smarty, its well worth it

 

Why not??? I had an EZ and then I got SMARTy.... the EZ is now on my bedroom floor.

 

I can say this....I have tried RJohnsons.....and if it wasnt for my clutch....I would have one........just unreal the low end you get.....you have to redo the way you drive!! OR you will be buying alot of trunks and tailgaites........

 

Don't I know that! Tampa traffic is terrible. It took me TWENTY minutes to go four blocks yesterday on the way home.

Now you can see why I start in 1st gear. If I started in 2nd in these conditions, I'd by buying a lot of trunklids and bumpers.

 

i would say get a smarty then look for a used comp that a smarty owner is selling.i personally wouldnt get rid of my comp for a smarty,they stack so well.to me the smarty on #9 feels like my comp on 3-5.the smarty on #8 with the comp on 3-3 seems like the best all around setting for me,very responsive and not to much smoke.
