Fueling box or programmer 1st?

Sorry, I know these type of ?'s are beat to death but...

From the research I've done here it sounds like the Smarty/TST PM3 is the combo of choice. Just wondering which I should put the first 650 towards? The Smarty seems like the logical choice. However I like the idea of being able to turn it down on the fly if egt's get too high(while towing) like the PM3 allows.

Will have both as well as injectors eventually but one step at a time.
I think a rear main leak has fouled my clutch so a 13" OFE is in the VERY near future as well. Already have the guages & it is time to get serious!

Most seem to get the Smarty first, and be happy with that order.

If your not looking for top end power right now, then I would go for the Smarty. You could always try to get with another member close by for a test upload of one of the programs.

Definately Smarty first. Without it, and the timing it provides, the TST is nowhere near as enjoyable.

Of cousre, if you've never tried either ... you will love which ever you choose. The Smarty is more fun for daily driving while the TST gives more top end.

Thanks for the input! Those were the responses I thought I'd get, so I'll be putting the order in this week. Can't wait to wake the old girl up!
