Where are you located geographically? In excessively hot or cold climates, I'd also recommend a high idle program to keep the heater smokin' hot or the A/C really cold.

I think you're on the right track with the tunes, but be warned that the 140 tune will not give you an actual 140 HP on a stock-injectored truck. You will make decent smoke down low (albeit with AB code injectors and I don't condone "smoking" anyway) but your high pressure oil pump will be really taxed for oil when under high RPM/load conditions and it will not perform very well.

I'd probably recommend the 65 HP daily driver and the 100 HP performance programs but it's completely your call.

Welcome to the forum!!
