The best place for you to look and see what the cummins guys are doing is on their forum, sorry I mentioned another forum.

You can use the cts monitor with the smarty too, or a watchdog

Use the money you have now and upgrade your transmission. You'll need it.

auto trans? Even the highest and mid level settings from most tuners is too much for a long lasting auto trans. Ask my 48RE....

I'm good at saving just the truck payment has set me back for awhile before I can get some more money stock piled, I wouldn't even know where to start with building up the trans though.
