Default What would you do?

Well, I have a 2008 6.7L dodge w/ a dpf delete, front and back bumpers etc.

Im looking into performance now. I have recently ordered an edge juice w/ attutide and I am looking into more performance. I know a fella that has 100hp injectors for my truck. but my clutch has been going bad with stock horsepower. What would you do?

drop you a new clutch in that baby, add your mods and you can outrun anything on the street if you want. be careful to research the clutches before you buy on though, make sure it will withstand the power transfer.

Send back the Edge juice, and order a Smarty.
If you are ever considering entering a sled pull go with a DD clutch. My DD clutch has been to hell and back a few times already. I would never even consider anything else.

Once you get your clutch in look at a XRT or Smarty.

Just my opinion, but if I were in your shoes, I would hold off on the injectors for now. My reasoning behind that, is if you are going to have to pay somebody else to do them, that money would be better spent putting it towards a clutch first. For tuning, either a Smarty or XRT stacked with an MP-8, in addition to a good free flowing intake will make plenty of power to keep you entertained. Experimenting with the best settings for your truck will also help you out mileage wise.
The XRT I'm told, will allow you to run an aftermarket turbo without code problems if you choose to go that route down the road. With what I've mentioned so far, you should have the capability to push the stock turbo to its limits airflow wise, at which point, I would look into inectors and a turbo swap as a package.
One other thing I suggest planning for is gauges. The post none of us wants to read is about you melting pistons. Add an airdog to the list as well.

Here's a link for you to read about the Smarty.

With new injectors running at $1000 a piece for the 6.7, I'd leave it alone and stick a kevlar clutch in it.
