unfinished business

Sorry for the delayed posting...it turned into a late night for good reasons. One of the guys in our group went to the finals in ET and I had a lot of friends pulling which was at the end.
Yes, I did dyno the setup before. With a smarty TNT is 1057 and 1816, but this was on a completely different dyno. Also this run was done with 50 degree ambient temps at an elevation of 150' above sea level. The run yesterday was done at 997' above sea level and an ambient of 86.58 degrees and not a fan blowing on it. Now the 1057 pull, that was after about 2 hours of dialing the truck in a tweaking things. This 1040 pull was the first pull EVER with ATP EFI tuning :rockwoot:.
I am working on setting up an appointment in the next two to three weeks where I can rent a dyno and have Rob on call so we can really tune this thing. I know it has more in it...all it needs is some time.
The setup with the smarty was less than ideal. It was a complete smoke pig, and surged at lower rpms no matter how I had it setup. With EFI the tuning/power is so much smoother! It drives like a completely different truck! The smarty would actually through too much fuel down low for and start drowing the turbo and hinder my bottom end spooling.
I towed my 4,000lb 12kgvw trailer that had a small 5,000lb load on it with his street tune and my truck loved it. Very little smoke and EGTs were easy to control.
Will put up second post with more info.
