Not sure how long it takes for the trans to reprogram it self again.

Once I get a moment and a nice day I am going to take some pics.
Ok that makes sense.I can't wait to see some pics of that bad truck smokin'em down..lol.

Harley6.2...how's the truck running? I am definitely interested in some comments on the 5-star tunes. I am sitting here ready to pull the plug...just looking for some feedback.

Thanks,
Mike

Im sure the 5 star tune is slick but also look into Alternative performance tune i have one in my 6.2 and the truck is just plain out nasty! MSTR-P give Lidio a call at Alternative Performance before you pull the trigger trust me!! I have compare

Call placed and message left. What sort of power are you getting from your Alternative set-up? Also...have you changed to a CAI and new exhaust?

I talked with both Alternative and 5-Star in depth about the tuning strategies they use on the 6.2l F-150's. They both use the same delivery system, SCT X3, and Alternative offers 2 custom tunes versus 5-Star offers 3. After both conversations and reviewing the notes, I bought my new 5-Star tuner/tunes last night and will hopefully get them with in the next few days or so.

I like the fact that Mike at 5 Star updates tunes for free.

Also he has answered allot of overall engine questions for me.

My Intake is in the mail!!! Too bad it doesn't get here as fast a my new tunes that were emailed to me!

Fenders are going to paint today and now it is down to just the exhaust!

That will be harder to sneak past the wife!

If you don't mind...what exhaust are you looking at?

Thanks,
Mike
