Smile Another happy 5 Star customer

Hey all. I just wanted to tell all that I joined the crowd of very happy 5 Star Tuning customers and to give more praise to Mike for giving excellent customer service on a great product. I signed up with others to try and get a group buy but Mike put on his Holiday Sale just in time and I got in on that deal. Anybody who is still on the fence about a tuner should really call Mike and let him explain what a tuner can do for your truck. The tunes I got from Mike really woke up my '05 V-10. Again, great product and a great company to deal with.

It looks to be a "required upgrade"

Ditto and let me add even more kudos to Mike for awesome service, support and true customization.

not trying to start a war here but i have it on my 5.4 and I'm not impressed at all. Seems the V10 gets a huge difference after the tune is installed and of course the diesel motors too, but not the little 5.4.....

I run a Diablo Predator on my 05 V10 in the 91 tune and it woke this truck way up. I can goose it and get the back tires rolling on dry pavement where as stock I couldn't. Driving up hills is even a night and day difference. The V10 has power through all rpm band now. I'm considering calling Mike and throwing tunes on my V10 just to see the impact.

Mine is literally sitting in my truck waiting to get the 93 tune on it (my tuner just showed up this week). I'm almost out of gas (87) and now that I'm back in town, I'll be filling up w/ 93 and slapping the 93 tune on it this evening. Going from stock to 93, why not go right for the gusto, right?

Loaded the 93 tune this morning. Boy does it wake the truck up. I couldn't get past how great the the throttle response was in my short 2 mile run with it to even realize how good the shift points were.

Signed,
ANOTHER happy 5 star customer

You did not even ask where your gear indicator went after you put the tune on.

I've answered that question so many times, that when I noticed it wasn't there, I was like, oh yeah, hit +..

Very nice Matt. That truck was impressive stock. With the tuner and the 4.30's those tires don't stand a chance.

With gas prices at or below $3 I'm contemplating a 93 tune!

Miles, that sucks to hear. The 87 tow/perf tune worked wonders for my truck.
