It's addictive!!

5-Star's 93 Octane Performance tune is a beast!!!!

Ever had a 7300 lb dually w/3:73 gears snap your head back on take off??? This one will!!! Goes up through the gears and never stops pulling!!!

I gotta get that 89 Econo/Perf tune back in their before I tear something up or get a ticket!!!

Bravo 5-Star, bravo.

Wow that not sound like our tired f250 with v10 that have almost 300k miles. It kind rev slow than it was new.

Let us know how mpg improve with programmer.


be careful with that drive way it sound it would hurt transmission due sudden shift hard cause stress parts.

Maybe not all of the credit, but I can say without a doubt, it never launched or pulled like that before.

Hey Krewat, you still digging that Volant CIA? I've been toying around with the idea of getting one. But even still now, the "jury" is out on the real benefits of installing one.

Mike, any thoughts?

I'd love to see a dyno run with one versus the stock setup.

Looking at it, it HAS to be better than that almost-90-degree turn right after the air box, and on top of that, the huge difference in diameter from the outlet of the air box to the intake tube.

When I put the Volant on, I already had the ebay headers, but otherwise was totally stock.

I could, suddenly, mash the gas and the tires would spin. It wouldn't do that before the Volant. What it did overall in terms of real numbers, I don't know.

It sounds cool though
