5 Star Tuning 2018 5.0 F150

Has anyone tuned their 2018 5.0 F150 with 5 Star Tuning tunes. I had it for my 2009 V10 F250 and it was helped a lot.

Now that I am completely out of warranty I plan on doing an Omega tune on my '15. It will also correct my speedo.

Hope everything goes well with your Speedo, although I'm not sure where your swimsuit comes into play. Will you swim faster? 😆
Do you have experience with Omega? I'd be interested in why you are choosing them. Thanks for any info.

I don't have any experience with any of the tuners. But I like the fact that with the Omega you only have one tune and its good for whatever fuel you use. None of this 87 tune, 91 tune etc.

I'm surprised no one has done a 5 Star tune on a 2018 5.0.
Back in the day (5 or so years) the owner of 5 star would come on the forum and say something.

Something is different with the tunes from 2017 to 2018. The 2018 tunes are a lot more expensive. I'm sure a lot of us are ready to do it because of the transmission and start stop.

18S27 I believe it's till May, but it's all about the tensioners and they are produced in advance. So get it checked. I got the notice in my Ford Pass app on my phone.

I used Forscan to correct my speedometer when I went from 275/55/20 to 275/60/20. Now it is spot on.
