Programming with a Smarty

I finally got the Smarty to communicate with the truck and program tunes. But still having some problems.

I tuned the truck with the #9 tune. First of all the truck doesn't smoke at all. There maybe a little haze before the turbo spools up. Second, I will be driving down the road. Cruising at 55 and I loose all throttle. It seems to cut out at 2000 rpm. But if I completely let off the the throttle, then get it back on it again but then will lose it after trying to accelerate. So I put the stock tune in the truck but didn't have the problem once. Drive for probably 5 miles and put the #8 tune in the truck. Truck drove fine. Tried adding more timing. Continued with loosing throttle. I set the timing back to stock and truck drive fine, with no smoke. The truck seems to not like timing at all, it cuts fuel off with the added timing.

With the Smarty I have about 2-4 lbs more manifold pressure, about 18 psi of fuel pressure with a Raptor 150, pulling a hill truck makes about 30 psi of manifold pressure at about 1100 degrees.
 
well when my truck had the throttle cut in and out and the obd 2 port didn't work it was caused from my ecm starting to take a ****. it got worse as time went by by losings all throttle to kicking in and out. just my 2 $.02.
 
Well the only problem with my obd 2 port was a couple corroded pins and one pin that liked to push out easy. Hopefully have that problem solved. I hope my ECM isn't taking a crap. Thanks for the input.
 
I dont think it can be the VP. I got my Quadzilla in yesterday and installed it. Tremendous gains to have a bad VP. It doesn't smoke real heavy, but with all stock hard parts why would it. There is a little haze at high rpms, but there is a cloud when hammering on the throttle before the turbo comes up. The turbo also makes 15 psi more manifold pressure than stock. Which leads me to believe that the VP isn't junk. More fuel more, manifold pressure. If the VP was bad I wouldn't see an increase in manifold pressure.
 
glad to see you got my smarty working a little... ha ha i kinda figured i'd be buying itt back from ya.
 
Went to a pull a week ago and had no problems pulling. The truck pulled the best it ever has. I pulled in 3rd gear low range, got to the other end of the track and just dug holes in the ground. Made 37 lbs of manifold pressure but EGTs are getting way to hot. Why is this? I have all stock parts, just a Smarty and Quadzilla on PL05!
 
I have a stock ported ceramic coated exhaust manifold to a 4-inch ceramic coated down pipe, right to 5-inch all the way out.... I wasn't expecting much out of the stock charger but with the little smoke it makes I am surprised at how hot it gets.

Budget won't allow for a bigger charger yet!
