Default Ordered My Smarty

Hey guys just wanted to throw it out there that I ordered my Smarty Jr today, Bob said it should be here Saturday, but said it will be here by Monday...I went with the Jr. so that I woudn't be tempted to try the higher levels of the Sr. w/stock trans

I'm goin onabout a 3k mile round trip this month and about 2500 of that will be all highway...I'm gonna play with the different settings to find the best milage, I'll pry run a full tank on eachstock 40/70/100 and let you all know what happens, as of now the only difference I can say will be air temp I'll be goin from NW Florida to NW Oklahoma and as far as I know there is already snow up there and its 60-70F here...its a pretty flat drive the whole way so I'm not goin to consider slopes being most ppl's highway drivin will be similar or greater degree slopes...Hope this will help anyone on the hunt for the magic MPG setting...

Hey guys can anyone tell me how much of an increase you have seen in mileage. I have talked to numerous people who claim that their programers have increased there mileage from 3-8 miles/gal. I find 8 miles/gal increase hard to believe. I am definately getting the Smarty so I would love to hear what kind of mileage increase that members have seen.

Hey Aero it's gonna be hard to run any other level after you try out 100HP. Better run burn the first tank of fuel on economy, then towing, then performance Don't forget somewhere down the line you'll be wanting to slap an egt gauge in there too.

lesimon I belive rediculous mpg gains like that can be attributed to the overhead which is notoriuously wrong and even more so when you play with boxes and programmers. I don't know what kind of gains can be had I haven't had it long enough but 8 mpg that is just insanity I'm calling bs.
