Just for clarity, there is zero smoke in what I'm calling the "eco" or "nanny" program. It is the program I ran when I was getting 22+ solo hwy and 19 city commute.
It is *supposedly* half power of stock, but... since I cannot see what is inside the black box, I can't tell if they halved every stinkin' value of the stock program, which would seem to be probable considering how drive-ability suffers.
The Smarty, to the best of my knowledge, will not permit changes to parameters in the stock program. Since I wanted advanced timing and slightly elevated rail pressures, I cannot get that in the stock program, thus I have 3 options:
I can either go with the half power program which forces me to never be able to use more power than I should be using for eco driving, but overall drive-ability suffers.
I can go with the sw1 (+30 HP) and gain some of the drive-ability back, but gain all the detracting factors of the way Smarty's performance programs are constructed (smoke, steep changes between ranges of each of the map tables).
I can go with my full-power (~+230 HP) and dial the power down with PoD 30 (what I'm doing this week) and drive easy and gain most of the drive-ability, lose most of the smoke (no more visible smoke than stock) and gain more lower RPM ability without the engine complaining.
Or just go to stock and not gain any advance or additional pressure... as a 4th option.
All things to be considered, all of which demand some amount of experimentation to be able to quantify their effect to the goal.
