I recommend the Atlas 40 unless you're towing very heavy on stock exhaust, then I'd recommend the economy. If you're running gearhead SCT tunes he likes the economy FICM tune to build on also.

No, but the Atlas 40 will give you better throttle response and some maybe improved mileage.

There are LOTS of folks here running the Atlas 40 on stock injectors and SCT tuning. It's perfectly safe.

You will like the atlas 40. What weight do you tow and do you have EGT that you can monitor? Sounds like a winning combination to me. I only run the at last 40 and I can tell the difference from stock. Much better throttle response and acceleration seems a bit fast, mileage has not gone down winter city, and in the fall, highway seemed up a bit, maybe only 1 mpg, but up all the same. I drive pretty hard.

Need a reason to avoid 58 Volt.

But if you want to make a new smoker...

What is your bat voltage idling? When did you get the 11.5 reading, was it with 2 min of startup?
