Im trying to sort out a few things on my 99 and one of the questions I have is about tuners and stacking.
Right now I have a smarty on level 2. The last time I was at the shop, a power puck was also connected to test. In my other thread, I was told that I should pull the pp and stack an edge comp drag hot w the smarty because it offes more than the pp.
Here are my questions.
1. Smarty
What does the smarty control?
From what I've read, it replaces the stock tune w whatever program you select. There are fuel+timing tunes and straight fuel tunes. It also corrects tire size for the speedo.
What is the max HP/tq gain from the smarty?
I've been told that all levels produce the same power, but get there differently. More aggressive as you go higher in the levels.
Is the smarty mainly for low end, or will it fuel to higher rpm?
2. Redline box
This was originally on the truck, and I was told that it extended the fueling to higher rpms for a short amount of time.
Any info on this?
Does the rl tap the fuel wire?
3. Power puck
From what I read, this is a plug and play 60-80hp tune.
It does not tap the fuel wire and adds fuel+timing.
Does the pp add more to the bottom or top?
4. Edge comp drag hot
I read that this box changes fuel and timing and will fuel harder through the rpm and add fueling to around 3200rpm. Also that it has a display and that you can adjust power levels on the fly up to 120-130hp. From what I understand, you have to tap the fuel wire.
Does this box control anything else?
Does the edge do anything different than the smarty?
Which tuner is best when used by itself?
What would be the reason for stacking?
Does the smarty work best down low and the edge work better up high?
If they both add fuel and timing, does one override?
Seems like you could get too much timing that way. (maybe why the smarty has fuel only programs)
Any other insight would be appreciated.
