5 Star=Trouble
I'm sitting at the light last night here in the big city. A tuned 6.0 pulls up beside me, we look over at each other and do the "nod". Light turns green and we hammer down, I'm holding even with him until about 40 and we have to slow down for the next light. Needless to say, he was rolling some serious coal. At the next light, there is a sheriff sitting there, waiting on us. He wound up pulling the diesel guy over because of all of the smoke and let me go, glad I have a gas engine. Mike's tunes rock!

I dont know. My 2007 6.ohno with custom tunes would easly handle my 2008 v10 stock. Cant wait until next week to get tunes from 5-Star for my v-10. I really wish Ford would have done the 6.ohno right. It was in the shop more than my driveway. I do have to say I love the V-10. I get to drive it trouble free every day, lol lol

The 6.0l had power even in stock form, no doubt about it. You just didn't know when the next big bill will hit. It appeared to me the components surrounding the long block caused a lot of the trouble with them. The engine was designed for medium duty use and Ford had to make it work in a LD truck and pass LD emissions.
