Unsure which Phoenix or FU setup to get

Once you get injectors, the FU will be your only non-option.

The Phoenix/FU/FU2 matrix shows injector mods listed under the Phoenix. If I have to ship it back to get a reburn, that's no big deal.

That is exactly what you would have to do if you do more mods, ship the phoenix back. I think your best option is the phoenix with guages of some sort, then when you do more upgrades, ship the chip back.
The phoenix will adapt to anything you do to your truck, the FU wont, but the FU2 will!
Have fun with your new "tools" for your truck

Is the horsepower "limitation" on stick shift trucks merely because you can't keep boost up between shifts like you can with an auto? I'd assume if you're in one gear for a while, pulling hard, a stick truck should make just as much horsepower as an auto.

the stick will make the same HP as the auto, the HP limiting factor is the injectors. I believe that was what Cody was saying that with a truck with stock injectors the max HP gain would be around 100HP stick or auto
