Whisper Mode.....will I really need it? ....CC LB 4x4..... not drive thru friendly.

Now I'm thinking:
40 tow
65tow
80 dd
100 perf
120 race
1200 Hi Idle

That should cover anything I want to do.
This is just my opinion
stock
40 or 65 tow (if 12k is the most you'll see 65)
80 dd
120 race (you wont get much over 100 but every little bit helps)
hi idle
no start

stock is good for diagnostics
That's pretty much what I have & have never got to the point were I wished I had something else. I pull my horse trailer 10k lbs in 80dd & egt stays good, something heavier I'll use the 65tow & keep my eye on the temp & if I'm moving something real heavy I figure I'll use the stock position.
The 80dd is great for just that daily driving.
The 120race I probably don't see 120hp but what I do see is real good.
The hi idle is great for spinning the A/C while I load the horses.
The no start makes me feel a little better when I'm out of pistol range...lol

I believe you'll be fine with the 65tow pulling your tractor, I went up 6 & 7% grades with the horse trailer on 80dd & temps stayed right at 1150-1200 deg & I was still running 70mph.

Whatever you get I'm sure you will be impressed but good luck wearing the new off of it, it's just too much fun pressing the skinny pedal.

BTW if I was gonna worry about Whisper I'd get me a POS Prius & a Obama sticker
