I messed up on the whole issue.
I know when I priced out my truck and I was going through the info for the new trucks one brochure said 800ft/lbs torque at rear wheels with Auto tranny, and 410 axles. I asked abotu this at the time and was informed by not one but to seperate dealers that the rating was at the rear wheels.
I stand corrected in the rating.
Now to figure out how to get the extra torque on my manual.

Your situation, get a good SB DD Clutch and a H&S tuner. Youll make the HO guys jealous.

Great write up Larry! You confirmed my Smarty fears. I was going to go with the Smarty, but after reading hours of threads and seeing the various issues folks were having with the software and customer support, coupled with the lack of problems reported with the H&S tuners, I decided to drop the extra nickels and go with the H&S last week. It just seemed like the route to go for someone like myself with no previous tuner experience. Keep those cards and letters coming as I'm headed down the exact path you have taken, with the exception that I am dealing with a manual vs. auto tranny.
On a personal note, my hat is off to ya, you don't let anything slow you down.

JB - Some look down when there's a problem and some look up and head straight ahead. At one time or another, I've done both, but I sure try to be the guy heading straight out at Mach 5. 
Thank you.
Thank you.
