Default Sct x4 with 5star tunes

Received my 5star tunes today and thought I would share my opinion on it. Have to say I'm a little more than disappointed. Still poor throttle response and torque management. Sport mode is ruined. I ordered 87 perf/tow, 91 perf/tow, and 91 race. They all seem about the same. Only thing I really noticed is it shifts a bit harder at WOT. Main reason I bought it was for the throttle delay and was assured sport mode would still function but not the case. Waste of money imo.

I've heard this in a few threads. Pretty disappointing.

You can see the tuner, it will show how many 'unlocks' it has left. It has the ability to unlock more then one vehicle but can't be 'married' to more then one at a time. If you want to sell it, you need to flash your truck 'back to stock' and it will be good to go.

That's a different setup altogether than mine. You could always try a different tuner or use it for the mustang you was talking about.

Don't sell the x4. Buy a different tune and load it to the x4 and run that. I'd try ssi. Try their basic tune first and I bet you will be more than impressed
