The clutch is not a matter of if its when! you may want to invest into a new clutch that can handle what your gonna want to put into it then worries are solved..

Ok. The smarty won't really "smoke" on any of the settings if everything else is stock. That being said, a stock truck will "poot"(small puff of smoke/haze) on jack rabbit starts or initial heavy acceleration. Injectors will add smoke more so than a pressure box or smarty alone. Clutch...Southbend seems to be the way to go from what I hear. AndI do believe a quality single disk clutch will suffice.

thank you, good to know! i dont want to cover all the little children in black smoke. i hate jackasses that do that makes me wanna beat the hell out of them...

i just really cant choose between smarty and edge comp... im not much of a hot rodder, ill use the MPG tune 95% of the time anyway... kinda hard to race with a standard anyway

THe smarty should net a better MPG than the edge. Of course you'll have nay sayers, sooooo JMHO. And again...if you're not racing or sled pullin'... I'm gonna stick with recommending Smarty.
