Regardless, given that you can always buy more credits if needed, this should be okay for a start.

I am not a tuner, by the way, and if this is indeed the first time you are attempting to tune a Gen V car, make sure you do some research, this is complicated business. Goat Rope Garage has a great video series for beginners at tuning101.com, look for his HP Tuners tutorial series.
Just to add to this because others will come across it later. The 2016 takes 3 credits. 2 to license the tune and 1 for the FSCM. It wont let you load your adjusted tune back to the car without licensing the FSCM. I just did mine last week so that I could see what the previous owner had done.
