5 Star Tuning

Has anyone used 5-Star? He has been very responsive to my questions. I am looking for better economy and I pull a ski boat and a compact tractor so I don't need that much additional power. Don't care about racing anything either as I am not putting any other mods on the truck.

Wow Well I have used Mike - bought the SCT from him very responsive, Strange. I got new tunes after a FICM/PCM flash last week - in one day. Maybe he is on vacation.
He is normally right on top of things..

Sorry, I think you misunderstood. He has been very helpful. Answers questions within a few hours if not minutes. What I want to know is how good are the tunes. I hate to spend $500 without having all the facts available.

Thanks.

OK yes my error. Well so far I like his tunes. I do not drive my truck much. The new tunes I had him write last week were soft lite low HP tunes. The street stock plus 20hp is great.

It ran very nice. Low EGT, boost maxed out at 25.. I want to make sure I dont lift the heads - safe tunes
The 40 HP tow gets it first run tomorrow. I will report back

My initial investment was not that high.. but now with the new tunes - have to pay for extras, due to the latest flash from Ford..I have about that in mine now..well worth it.

At least you can get the product and tunes when you want them.. others big names still have not returned my calls or emails..

I think you will be well pleased with the product, tunes and service.

I am
