Default Rebuilt Trans chip hp safe setting

hey i got my tranny rebuilt in my 03 ram 3500 auto. it has a single clutch billet tc and raybesto clutches and a shift kit and i was looking into a smarty sr and i was wondering if level 9 (170hp) would be safe. the shop that rebuilt it said it can handle any chip with ease so im just double checking. my current upgrades are, afe stage 2 cold air, afe air horn and dual 4" mbrp exhaust and 35" tires. thanks for the input

Last I knew that was a 160hp tune on the 03 but yes IMO it will hold it fine especially if you keep the tq management settings on the conservative side

Okay what's IMO? And what do you mean by TC management settings? Thanks.

IMO=in my opinion and tq= torque management. With the smarty you can adjust that option as well. I have my truck on lvl 8 with a stock clutch and its fine. You know how to drive your truck without hurting it but that trans will take the power.
