My thoughts on SCT tuners from 5 Star tuning

Hey, just installed an X3 tuner on my F250, wanted to share my thoughts. I picked it up from Mike at 5 Star and could not be happier. The performance tune is where I want to be, but not sure if my wallet can handle it at the pump LOL. I have not had alot of time to analyze its complete MPG or performance changes, but I can tell already the shift points and ease of acceleration are already a huge plus.

here is a video I made, Let me know what you think.

WOW. Great explanation to any newb on how simple this mod is to use. I have only ridin in a 6.2 once and was extremely impressed. I cannot imagine how much the tuner opened it up. Enjoy that, and as you stated good luck saving gas now. I know even the 87 octane tune woke up a sleeping giant with my V10. What axle gearing do you have?

P.S. Only real issue I had with your video is the Ravens tee. I like Ed Reed and all but Bengals all the way.
