Then order a SMT-6 from the USA distributor, or other country where you reside. Give the distributor your voucher number. The distributor will send you a SMT-6 and get the "extra" SMT-6 from Perfect Power in SA. When they get the SMT-6s (all in one shipment from SA) the distributor will forward yours. I would get no better price by ordering multiples than I'd normally get by ordering 5 or more at a time. If anyone wants to take advantage of this, the distributor recommended doing it soon as the number of SMT-6 units available for this program are limited. The distributor said he did not believe the SMT-6 was slated for discontinuance since it worked on many more cars than the SMT-7.
I did order an SMT-7 for myself so I could try it and see if the triggering problem I have with the SMT-6 on my car has been eliminated. The SMT-7 does have some additional features that might be useful too. They do cost more with the retail around $563 vs. $389 for the SMT-6. I do know someone who could sell for significantly less though.

Thanks for the info! So this could be an excellent chance for someone to get ahold of an SMT6 for under $200 (assuming you have a buddy who wants one too)? I was a little curious because my friend is on the edge of needing some form of higher tunability (piggyback or standalone) for his M3. His options are either an SMT6, or this crazy setup: http://www.siastuning.com/ProdforSalePlugnPlay.htm
I think in the long run, if he continues to mod his car... he should just get the TEC3 (he has more money than he knows what to do with...), but this would be a nice solution for now so he can learn more about tuning instead of having me do it all =D
I'm really curious about that SMT7... when do you think you'll have it?

Decisions, decisions...
Sab, I signed up for a voucher. If you're still interested drop me a line at my home e-mail address whelan4(put the @ here)sio.midco.net.
Louie, this is what it says on the perfect power web site:
http://www.perfectpower.com/products/specialoffer.asp
Next, take this voucher to your local Perfect Power dealer where he will honor your deal. Should there be no dealer in your area, you are most welcome to contact Perfect Power directly where we will gladly assist you. "
--------
If there's any advantage for you, I would certainly get them through you versus the distributor. Otherwise I will contact the distributor directly.

louis, thanks for the explanation. slowly but surely the whole tmixture/spark uning thing is making sense. i need to install an O2 sensor and then visit john speake, see what the 5.4 is doing. btw, i put a sump baffle in this engine along the lines of the one on your website (just not as pretty), seems to work fine.

If someone like Louie... is willing to offer a sizeable dicount for an SMT-6 with 5 or more orders, I for one will take a pair (one for me, one for buddy, in this case also me...). Now, we need at least 4 more. Who here is next??
So as not to put Louie or RandyV. or any other powers that be on the spot, either list your intentions here or email me. I understand that with 5 or more it would be $325. Pedro, Mike, BrianG....who else?

I have an even better idea. How about we split into groups of two and buy one buddy kit, then split the price? 50% off for both parties. Who's with me?
