Welcome to the club, I personally love the 80hp setting and how the torque converter stays locked, when downshifting. Definitely a great chip!

Welcome. What would you need the spare switch for? If you're worried about them defaulting back to the stock program, as some of the chips have had that problem, my understanding is that it's in the chip itself, not the switch.

You can pretty much run any program you want all the time, just watch your gauges. I've read Jody recommends running the stock program for the 1st few minutes when it's really cold out and then switching over to your program of choice.

When I got my 4 pos chip (40-80-100-140) I was told to run in the 80 hp econo mode. Works great and gets good mileage.
