quick superchips question

have a 97 f-450 with 7.3 and manual, i know about the settings for tow safe, tow perf, and hi perf,
i know if you haul or tow more than 6000 your not supposed to use anything but the tow safe option, but this is a f-450 we pulll a lot of weight sometimes, is there a weight that is too much for this engine with the tow safe mode selected, or can it pretty much handle whatever we throw at it. we do not have an egt. and probibly wont be getting one??
what do yall think.

I think if you are not going to put an EGT gauge on it, you shuld not run the programmer at all.
