5 star tuning

How so? The tuning on these trucks with the 05+ trucks is pretty aggressive compared to the 99-04 models. It's not a diesel and pulling 10k behind a 3V V10 is nothing. The last thing you want to do is start running tunes while dragging a trailer around. Nothing beats the factory tow haul mode setting.
V10's produce their peak power at 4250 -4500 rpm. Running anything past that is a waste. How would a tuner help In terms of power on a gasser?
On the pre 05 trucks it's a different story.

throttle response will feel more like a cable not drive by wire, trans shifting strategy's are much better and quite a nice bump in hp and tq and tow haul works even better.
Do a search, it makes the truck feel like it dropped 2000 lbs, its the best mod you can make to a 3v v10 even the 87 octane tune.

The tuner DEFINITELY wakes up the V10. I only run an 87 octane tow/perf tune and it is sweet. Anyone who says the tuner doesnt help the V10 is not familiar with a tuned V10. Specially one tuned by 5 Star. It will hurt MPG but adds a ton to the way the transmission shifts in or out of tow/haul. Definitely worth the $ if you want a great mod.
Ps you can ask the fellow in his 6.0 what he thinks of my tuned V10 from the other day. He looked surprised from what I could see in my mirror.
