Default Edge cts programmer questions...is extreme level 4 bad for daily driver?

I just picked up a edge cts and was wondering if running on extreme level 4 all the time is bad for the truck? It drives great with this tune but was warned that is was bad to run all the time...not worried about gas mileage would rather it be snappy...
The Transmission has less than 10,000 miles on it...It has full length dynomaxx headers with AFE cat back and airaid intake tube so she's breathing well...4:88 gears to compensate for the 40" tires...otherwise the engine/transmission are stock. I don't floor it from light to light...though I sometimes jump on it since gearing/headers I put about 30 miles a day on the truck...mostly back roads...

So is extreme level 4 gonna hurt my truck?

Lol...I talked to a couple techs at work and they said I should be fine as long as I run super unleaded fuel which I do and don't hear pinging...and obviously not drive it like an animal every time I get in it...but when summer comes I probably run performance or economy tune as it is more likely to ping/blow up then...

Well that's clearly a green light then!

There is an old saying that "Engines always run best right before they blow up"

Seriously though I think you should be fine.
