Question Changing Tunes? 87 perf & 87 tow

How often do y'all change your tunes? I ordered 87 Perf, 87 Tow & 93 Perf. I fish alot and will probably have the tow tune loaded most of the time. I can't see switching between 87 tow & 87 performance every couple weeks. Thanks

i pull 3 quads and i found that on the hwy my 87 perf gets better mpg's than the 87 tow......that being said the 87 tow pulls the trailer and all gear better than the 87 perf....personal preference is what it comes down to

It's more than personal preference. PHP has stated that the tansmission is tuned differently and you should never tow more than 2500 lbs with a performance tune. Plus, your tow tune has a lot more torque on the low end to get you going with less stress on the entire drive train.

Going back and forth is no problem. It's like transfering data from a stick to your computer and back. The only risk comes if you do not have a fully charged battery.
