I'm running sw9 and can drive the truck smoke free if I don't lug it and I roll into the throttle. When rolling into the throttle I can ride the line between clean, haze, and smoke.
Actually I rolled into it a bit too much at an interstate onramp this last weekend. I didn't see the car pull in behind me until I was already into it. Turns out that mustang I smoked was my boss

Well I recieved my smarty today!! 
(ear to ear!) Had the Van Aaken still hooked up for the first outing (wanted to wait til I got to the shop to take it off) NEway I ran the Smarty on 8 for the most fueling possible 
and let the VA do its thing. Only drove a few miles with it and all I can say is wow!!! The power in the bottom end is insane 
(well for me at least ) I pulled the VA off and am going to see if I can really tell a difference with it gone and the Smarty on 9. If not then.. well.. Anybody looking for a VA??
Now why didn't I buy this sooner??

I just put a Smarty on my stock truck and I found that it is night and day. I think it is amazing. I do however see lots of smoke at acceleration right as the turbo spools. Is this normal?
