the smarty would be nice I have a full catcher smarty #9 and tow heavy too. with the comp you would need to use even # setting but the smarty gives tons of tq at the bottom end its great for getting that load rolling .

I can't think of anything better for towing than the Smarty. I would bet if you had both that and the Comp... you would end up using only the Smarty.

With a stock turbo, you might get away with both, if the comp were on a low setting.

What setting are you guys using for towing? I am thinking about a smarty to improve my 1500-2000 rpm power.
