Question DP Chip, which settings?

I just sold my hyperpac, I am ready for what everyone is talking about. I have a 13K fifth wheel, which settings will work for this. I live around big hills (higher EGT's). I have a 01 250 4x4 6 speed, gauges, WW, 4in exhaust, intake, EBPV delete, and AIH delete. I just installed a new LUK clutch, by the way I love the LUK. I am going to order my DP with stock, high idle, and what else? I need help.
I want settings for towing heavy loads, good fuel eco when I need it, but also something that will rip when I am empty. Does the 140 smoke good? I love to take off and leave a cloud of smoke.. Thanks again for all the help out there.

id get the 40 and 60 tow for the hills cause of the EGT's..80 tow is good on the flats too.. your best bet is to talk to jody at DP.. he can tell you whats best..the 140 does alot of smoking..wish i would have got that..

Ditto.. Plus i added No-start for a some security and 100 hp for when i'm not towing and want to have a little fun. Beware!!!- Fun = new tires $$.

I would do Hi idle, 40hp tow, 60hp tow for the flats, 80hp econo for unloaded driving, 120 race for the ripping around town, and 140agressive for the smoke.

I, basically, have the settings that Kris suggested. I have a 5ver that is about the same weight. I use 60 tow for flat towing and 40 tow for the hills and bucking high wind. I primarily run in 80 econo and have the 120 for sprints.
