6.2 Tuning
Anybody out here run any 5 Star Tuning on their 6.2 Im not looking for big power gains plan on staying basically stock at most might do a exhaust later on. Im mainly looking at better shifting better lock up on torque converter. If you have let me know what you think over stock.

i love the 5 star 89 octane econo tune. i do mostly under 40 mph driving, and it made a world of difference in the way the truck runs. faster upshifting, and faster torque converter lockup.
it works excellent when out on the road too. i get best mileage around 55-60 mph, which is my comfortable driving speed.
truck is a stock 2014 F250 4X4 supercab with 3.73 gears

I run the 87 octane tow tune. Big difference in transmission shifting up and down. Feels a like a little more torque on the bottom end and NO throttle lag.. When in tow / haul I lock out 6th gear and just go. 3.73's here. In the mountains I select to 3rd and let it eat. Mileage is on track with tjc. At 55-60 MPH I can get almost 16 MPG.

This plus just overall better driveablity. It puts the truck were it should have been from the factory. I have an '11 F250 and it bumps me up to around where the current HP / torque numbers are I think. I also have the 93 octane version of this tune. I just cannot justify running premium fuel for what I do at this time. Hope you enjoy!

I love mine, I just run 87 daily tow and the transmission shifts awesome now. Still have that weird stutter in reverse when towing but otherwise it's great.

Update I haven’t got to pull yet but loaded up the 87 daily tow tune. Let me just say 5 Star woke this truck up throttle response is unreal holds gears like it should. I can tell already it will be a vast difference once I do get to load her down.

To me, it makes the truck act like it should from the factory. The little extra power I get is nice though. It is almost worth the price for the transmission tuning alone IMHO. I won't drive a modern vehicle without a tune. Even my 2010 Mustang GT has one. Day and night for both of them.
