Race Chip " i get it for the 80th time"

Just installed mine this week thanks to RG Sport about 15 minutes total. My question is how do most leave them set. I have mine in the middle but just thinking of leaving it at the highest setting all the time. Does it take up to 200 miles to start noticing a difference? Have about 20 on mine but really couldn't feel any butt dyno change but i just installed. either way if anybody is on the fence the hardest part of the install was deciding where and how to mount the chip it self.
thanks for any input.

I keep mine on highest setting all the time. Get a draggy and you can compare results back to back.

On 93 pump gas, mine ran best on the highest level.

That's is man. Non-comp 2018 M5 w/ RC on 7. The DA helped a lot with that run though.
