Opinions on best RPM settings for performance?

I will be installing the Bully Dog Programmer tomorrow, what would be a conservative setting for the RPM's. I am looking for performance but do not want to put a heavy load on the engine every time I put my foot into it. This is my daily driver and I need it to last . I will be removing the speed limiter, selecting the performance setting and adjusting the RPM's if needed. Are should I just leave the RPM setting to stock?
Opinions?

I don't know anything about the Bully Dog thing, but I am very pleased with the RPMs my stock Maxima is using. Frequently, when I am just puttering along, I see the RPMs barely above a gas sipping 1K or so. But when I push the pedal, the RPMs instantly come to life, and the engine roars. The RPMs in this '09 can go from 1K to 5K in just a second or so if asked.

it sucks but you can not have the best of both worlds, if you want performance then you need to sacrifice, if you want longevity then you need to sacrifice, if you want the best of both worlds then don't get it and keep your car stock, it's that simple lol
