Smitty, sorry I didn't get to call you this weekend. On the weekends I have my son I get so into spending all the time I can with him and lose track of everything else. I'll give you a call tomorrow or Tuesday.

I have been doing a lot of "programmer" reading and have ruled out a few and put a few others on the potential list. Like you, I'm thinking about building a comparison and pros & cons spreadsheet to keep up with everything.

Banks is one of the ones I have ruled out. They are too conservative with their tuners, but with good reason in my opinion...they have the most to lose out of any of these other companies, none of which have been in the diesel business as long as them. I think their main concern is simply liability.

Superchips is out, my opinion is that they are more into gas than diesel.

Diablo is out, I don't think they have the diesel experience that others have, much like superchips.

H & S is out, on price alone. I hear they are great, but I feel others can do what they do for less money.

EFILive is out...I'm not a computer programmer but I think I could handle it. But, knowing myself it would consume a lot of my time because I would want to play with it all the time. I can literally see myself sitting out in the truck late at night doing so. So, I'm gonna resist that temptation.

I haven't looked into to Bully Dog, but plan to. I doubt I will buy them though.

I am going to continue to look into Smarty, Edge and Quadzilla, although I am leaning towards Smarty right now...which I never thought I would simply on looks alone. However, guys seem to love them and I prefer analog gauges over digital (yes, it's kind of a big deal with me). And not the Jr, I'm looking hard at the S-06 and SSR, although the SSR seems like it does more then I want to get into (same reason as EFILive). They provide higher hp settings and ultimately I would like to have the mods for, and supporting mods to support 500 to 600hp. I realize it's gonna cost me $6k to $10k but that hp range is my goal.

I may even eventually stack with TST.

Even though I typed most everything here, I'll still give you a call tomorrow or Tuesday and we'll kick it around. I typed here as I thought Aaron and Lou may find it interesting reading too.
