My 3 pos chip was 350 bucks. A SCMT will run you at least 300 and then the ez box is at least another 200 bucks. A 6 pos chip will be 420$ at the most...

No doubt. I have a 1705 I got from Motorhaven for $349. Tony Wildman has a two position that I want for $350. And he can reburn it when I do injectors. And a non reburnable for $300. Most everyone on here that has one says his spanks the stank out of the programers. But to answer your question, I get the best response and fuel mileage on High Performance setting. I'm actually going to dyno my dually on Monday and after that, I'm going to ditch my 1705 and go with Tony. Hope that helps.
