What HP tune would be safe to run on the streets for a daily driven vehicle?

Not sure what options Bill has for the 6.4 but the 7.3 really does well on the 80 and 100HP tunes around town. I use the 100 quite a bit because it has great throttle response of the line and at light throttle. Crusing, I run the Fuel Sipper which is similar to the 80HP tune with some fuel and shift point mods... Plus my own mods I made to that tune. The 80 and 100HP are very similar if you are not laying into the throttle all the time.. There are several comment on the forum from folks who really like the 80HP for a daily driver

Currently im running the 100 hp/180 tq tune around town and seems to be running good. How often do these truck usually go into regen??

I run mine on the highest factory tune. Can't remember what that HP is anymore but it gives me the best performance as well as fuel mileage. (17 to 18 mpg on highway). My only issue has been tranny ones at this level. The electronics in the tranny seem to have an issue with this power level and make it shift funny even after the latest updates from Ford. not sure what to do about it but right now I am too busy to look into it further.

From what this gasser understands is the 80 or 100 tunes are probably the best choice for DD out there.

The lower tunes do not improve fuel mileage from what I understand and personal experience. This has been true on all of the chips out there.

Regen frequency depends on which calibration series you are running. Older cals seemed to regen less frequently, but for longer periods of time. The new ones regen more often but for shorter periods.
