Default 1,000 Mile Trip Tomorrow

Well i am going to South Carolina tomorrow and round trip is going to be about 2,000 miles. Should i go back to the stock 87 tune or should i just leave it at the 93 predator tune? Any other advice for this long trip?

Assuming you get 20mpg, you would be saving $20 buy going back to 87.

Going 70-80 you should get a little better than that, anyways, this is the best kind of driving to clear out everything.
