Default gearhead tunes

so here in the next few days I am going to get matt out at gearhead to reburn my TS chip (new turbo/trans/water meth ect makes me wanna do the reburn) so i am trying to figure out what tunes i want

right now i have 140,120,75 tow, lope, high idle, anti theft

however i never use the lope or anti theft so i wanna swap them for something else.

truck is a DD mostly highway but does go off road a lot. towing is normally light (couple 4wheelers at most a jeep that has tow bars on it)

i was considering a whisper tune since my gf neighbors hate my truck and i go hunting (on that topic is a whisper tune something you can drive on)

so right now i am thinking 140, 120, 75 tow, high idle, whisper, and i need ideas for a 6th tune

Honestly... How often do you actually change tunes?

I have six positions... I use the extreme tune all the time and high idle during warm up on cold mornings... Other than that. I haven't touched the other 4 positions... Don't overthink this...

LOL... You need bigger injectors if you run around in extream all the time...

Mine is in my street or tow file 99.9% of the time, I could not imagine driving around all the time in Drag3b...

I like my truck right where it's at thank you very much!

Regardless, you proved my point... You use less than half of your chip positions as well... So I say again... Don't overthink filling the positions on your chip cuz your going to end up using only 1-2 positions...
