Smarty RPMs

I know that Marco has not released any new programs for our trucks. With the most recent download how many RPMs will a 24 valve turn. I've been told 3800 and 3500 but mu truck only seems to free spin to 3800, not pull there. Anyone?

Yeah I know. Hate to talk bad about Bob. Seems like a really nice guy. But I need some answers. Either that or I am going to have to p-pump it.

Unless Marco has a fancy way to trick the VP's brain, it won't pull past it's programmed governor. The Redline and Adrenaline Boxes kind of trick/bypass it by commanding the fuel solenoid to open/ stay open, but even they can't pull full steam at 4000 rpm. The Dodge ECM defuels at redline so the smarty can override that when they reprogram the ECM, but unless the smarty can somehow hack the VP44 brain, 4000 rpm power ain't gonna happen.

Thanx for posting it on youtube RODS. I have watched it a few times to try to see what I am doing wrong in every other pull. Just need more practice I guess. What happened down at TS. Did your hitch break? Going to be at Stanford next week? If so I'll see you there.

I heard that. We put up with the bs enough. You cant even give a vp smarty away in my town. Buddy of mine tried to sell his for 6 months, somebody finally bought it last week for 300.
