Consider this; you can kill a stock transmission on stock power, or, run Smarty on SW9 and not kill the trans. Short answer is a lot depends on your right foot and all the other settings on Smarty.
Basically, you could probably run SW2 and use it all without hurting things. If you try to run SW3 or higher and reduce the TQ management to where the truck responds so much better to throttle it is only a matter of time until it torches the direct clutch pack and likely ruins the input shaft.
If you want to make use of the power and the settings to optimize the driving experience you NEED to upgrade the trans to a degree. A shift kit, billet band strut and anchor, front servo cover will allow you to get pretty aggresive up to SW6 or until the TC gives up, that will be the weak point after the other smaller upgrades.
