Default Best Tune for Lifted Trucks - Placing order tonight

Im about to place my order for a Gryphon. Right now Im rolling on 35s and plan on going back to 37s eventually on my 08 FX4. My main concern is keeping the tranny as efficient as possible. Would a tow or performance tune be best suited for my truck? And would highway or city driving be a factor? Ideally id like to try out the canned tunes before ordering a custom tune since it takes a few weeks to receive the customs. Will it cost more to wait a week after getting the Gryphon to order a tune or two? I want to place my order tonight, so a quick answer would be appreciated! Again, my main concern is making the truck as efficient as possible with maximum tranny life. Huge power gains are not necessarily needed.

Im leaning towards this this setup:

0 = Stock
1 = 87 Perf
2 = 87 Tow
3 = Tranny Only

Maybe something else would better suit my needs?

Thanks

Some people have reported better mileage gains from the tow tunes because they are designed to have more torque, useful for turning large heavy tires. Tell Bill what your driving habits are like and he will make that tune match. The easiest way to keep the tranny running efficiently is to regear the axles so that the tranny doesn't have to work as hard.

Im going to re-gear, just not now because I need to buy a piece of GM, a foreclosed mortgage or somebody else's healthcare instead as the IRS awaits for my check to go out this week...

Im not worried about mpgs, just efficient shifts. I dont tow, on the weekends haul a Honda CRF450 in the back and drive like an old man. With no tunes, my transmission is all over the place (if not careful) which cant be good long term. 35's and 3.73s will be fine with a good tune. MPGs will naturally go up with efficient shifts.

Can I remark my order to hold off on what custom tunes I want? That way I can place my order tonight, get the free shipping and wait until the office is open to speak with them about specifics? It sounds like the tunes are a long wait which is fine, I just need the Gryphon itself ASAP for a road trip. Besides, the bill doesnt come until the office is open...

Ok, well you can fix the funky shift points as soon as you get the gryphon by correcting the tire size. I'm gonna give them a holler because I'm sure it can be arranged.

Yeah, dont worry, you'll have time. Make sure you have as much info in your User CP as possible. It will make things easier for Bill or Corey to help.
