Wow, you really like smoke, eh? I'm running 65's, and looking for more air before I jump up to 150's. I'm really happy with my 65's. There is a massive difference between my stockers and these one. Especially since the stockers had 305,000kms on them.

Running a good injector makes all the difference. You should be fine.

I'm running matched 150s from Diesel Auto Power and they work very well. Smoke isn't too bad and temps are controllable if you know how to drive. My Edge isn't tapped so that helps, but just keep yours turned down/ off and you'll be fine. I got a bigger hit with the new sticks and untapped pump, than tapped pump with stock sticks. The reason mine isn't tapped is due to the VP warranty, that I just had to replace under warranty. So I won't be tapping mine anytime soon due to that.

Don't go with an hx35...it's not going to help you enough. I'd hold off on the turbo until you have enough to get something bigger...62/71/14, 62/65/14, something like that. I was runnin an edge comp with my 150s when I first got them and I couldn't do hardly anything without blowing a ton of smoke with them, since my stock hx35 couldn't keep up with the added fuel. You can run them, but don't waste your money on an HX upgrade.
