i wouldn't get extreme, street race is faster, unless you have an aftermarket HPOP. Hi Idle is nice, and tow if you ever tow anything

cause on extreme your stock HPOP won't keep up and it dogs out on top end, your street race won't do that. How much weight do you tow?

I like the stock setting just because if your doing any maintanence to your truck. You can just simply put it in stock for test drives and diagnosing problems. Instead of pulling the chip out every time you are trying to diagnose something.
