Smarty Jr. and G56

I have and 07 with a G56. Will the clutch handle the 100HP setting on the Smarty Jr. if I'm careful how I shift and how I pull out or will it slip? If it does slip and I back off right away will the clutch be ok or will it be ruined instantly?
Thanks

It all depends on what kind of life your stock clutch has had. My clutch will start to slip but only if im on it really hard. I will not be ruined instantlly but it will definately take life off the clutch. Remember that every truck is diferent and just because mine runs strong doesn't necessarily mean your clutch will be the same. Anything can happen, just cause one person on here says it will be ok doesn't mean it will. Oh ya and pulling out has never worked out for me!!

Never had to use the 100 hp setting yet. The 70 hp gives the back tires all they want

I'm running 285's and have a 2000# camper on my back constantly and have used up to #3 without slipping. However,I'm currently down to #1. I just don't have the pesos for an SBC right now or in the near future.

If you know how to use a clutch and don't lug it in high gear then it should be ok. I must have a weird truck but my stock clutch holds my beta 4.4 fine if im redlining every gear. If lug it in high gear and then all of a sudden it spools up, it will slip badly. But as long as you don't do that and constantly cowboy it around it should be fine. My truck has 20,000 miles on it now and the last 11,000 has been on sw#9 or beta 4.4 and it still holds fine. So it should be ok but I can't garuntee anything because every truck and driver is different.
