Yes you can run that level with only those mods, but i would also suggest some guages to keep an eye on things. And if you are going to do any 4x4 driving get some tie rod sleeves. It won't hurt your engine to run that level all the time, but i would lower it to tow or your EGTs will get out of hand fastt.

what are the peak EGTs that you would want to see out of a setup like that? so what mode would you recommend just cruising in? and what for towing? and obviously max for racing. but what if i am just cruising and i come across some dillhole who wants to race can i jump to a higher setting on the fly or do i have to turn the truck off and change the setting with the ppe

I have seen 1700 on my egts, but only for a short short time. For extended periods like towing i would not want to see over 1250 degrees. For what level to run, i like running a big tune for daily driving and racing. For towing i would only run a 90 or 120 HP tune if you have a built tranny and just watch the egts. you cannot change the tunes on the fly with PPE and have to shut down the truck each time.

how about gas millage with a big tune? will you get good millage as long as you keep your foot out of it or do you need to drop it down to get better millage?

Yes the mileage will be the best on the higher settings, takes less effort to get the truck moving.

Because not everyone wants to run the highest settings.
