DP Tunes: Adding on.

OK,
Since it's bike season, I figured I'd send my DP Tuner to Jody for some additions. I currently have the following:
40 tow, 60 tow, 80 E, 120R, and 140 Ex.

I want to add a few tunes, especially the 80 tow and the Decel tune. I tow a little, not a huge amount. Since it is going back, thought I'd check with you fellas here and see what else is recommended. Might as well do it once and do it right. Suggestions?
Thanks

It's all personal preference. I only have stock, tow, daily driver, and race settings.... just 4 tunes and that's all I ever need.

don't know bout travis, but i got regular lope idle... kinda boring. Go with the smoke/lope.. seems like it'd be more fun. Decel=amazing even with an empty truck. Also, might wanna ask about the Super Ricer Smoker tune. Supposed to be extreme smoke. And there is that drive thru tune..... can jody just make a package deal with all 16 programs filled for cheaper??? I have a feeling it'd sell (to me atleast)

the lope idle is like a big cam in a muscle car, the "romp romp romp" noise they make. Smoke/lope is the same but it takes a 120R program on a 17* retard and actually blows smoke idling. Very cool when you hear the lope for the first time. Yet to physically see a smoke/lope, but go to Youtube and type in "dp smoke lope" and it will pull up Kris' truck, first video actually.

The Smoke Lope is neat but it just blows out white smoke, the Decel works pretty good going down a steep hill at speed, the drive thru is a bit quieter then stock, and the Super Smoke puts out a bit more then the 140 aggressive but none driveable due to extreme EGTs.
