DP-tuner Help!

Trying to order the f5 or f6 chip but not sure what tunes to purchase? They have so many options and not sure what i need for my setup. Can anyone give me some basic tunes that I should order with the chip to get me started?

Mods:
4" exhaust
S&B intake
t500 hpop
Frx
Hutch mod
rosewood stage 2 injectors
wicked wheel 2


The truck is an e99 with the ZF6.

It would be best if you email Justin or Jody with the mods you have they will have different tunes. I have the F5 and run the 80 dd 80 tow and the 100 tune. I don't haul much and use it for a daily driver so I use the 80 dd most times unless I see a dodge in the mirror then we go too the 100.

My F5 is older and I tow a lot. My favorite tunes are the 60 and 80 tow, whether towing or running empty. I have the 80 economy tune, but the go pedal is just too touchy around town. If I have my 4500# camper on and towing the ski boat, I run 60 tow. If running empty or just towing the boat, I like the 80 tow tune. Manual trannies are totally different from autos, so keep that in mind when you get advise. I am on my iPad, so hopefully my sig shows up! I do have a ZF6

my 02 with F-5 chip has been in 80 econo for 99% of the past 8 years. the only time it goes into stock tune is if the daughter drives it because she has a heavy foot and likes to smoke the tires.

Is there a particular reason your set on the DP chip???

Take a look at the Hydra chip... Completely open sourced. Not locked to one particular tuner...

Just a thought.
