Question Diablo chip settings?

I searched the forums and didn't find what I needed.
Looked at getting the chip and was a little confused by the options.
This is the order page at Motorhaven......

Following settings:
1. stock program
2. Performance Tune 1
3...
Selected options:
PROGRAM1: 78HP
PROGRAM2: 125HP
DIABLOLED: YES
DIABLOKILLSWITCH: NO

Ok, Is "Setting 1" above, the same as "Selected Options Program 1", below?
I changed the values from 54 and 54 in program 1 & 2.
So, does this selection mean that on the flip switch, position 1 will be stock, position 2 78 HP and position 3 125hp?
It didn't fill in #3 under settings, so I don't know, would it be program 2, 125 HP?

Also, do these choices in HP look ok or are they too high?
No towing, mostly street, very little off-road.
I know I can get a FTE discount by phoning in my order but is there a coupon someplace?

Thanks guys,
Steve...

With my only experience with the Diablo chip being looking at it on Motorhaven, I think you've got it right. 1. stock 2. 78 3. 125

If you don't have gauges yet then running the 78 is very marginal and the 125 a definite no no. Even with gauges the 125 setting will be pretty much worthlesss to you until the intake and exhaust are done...but it will be fun to play with.

Hey Cookie, thanx 4 the reply.

I'm only in the research phase of the Chip. I want to know all I can before I mess with the computer.
I most certainly will be installing intake and exhaust before the Chip, and will put gauges in before that.

Filters and coolers first though, coolant filter due to be delivered Tuesday, then a Tru-Cool, then tranny filter and maybe fuel filter.

Perhaps I'll limit the Chip to 110 instead of 125, even with the intake and exhaust mod, hopefully Ken will pick up the line here and advise.

Steve....
