Even though there already is a "I Heart Mike @ Five Star Tuning!" thread overwhelmingly he's the first guy to seek out when looking to enhance these V10's. I don't even own a V10 (yet) but if/when I find the E350 I can't resist he'll be my first call as soon as its sitting in my driveway.

I dare say the man is a genius!

What they said. It is rare that any group of enthusiasts agree on one vendor, but Mike's willingness to LEARN about and optimize these trucks make him something special.

Keep in mind that this engine package is not too bad from the factory. Other than the new tune, there are no "easy" power adders. Some vehicles come with horribly restrictive intakes or exhausts and changing them is an easy way to gain big boosts, but not on these trucks. Intakes and exhausts add more noise than power.
