Once you tune you'll never want to drive a stock tuned truck again!

Just got mine w/ 5 star tunes for my 5.0 and even that's a world of difference, can't imagine how it's going to improve in a forced induction application.

While we're on the subject: I noticed the logging parameters are rather limited on the X4, does anybody know if there's a way to add additional parameters (like fine or feedback knock, long term fuel trim, etc) ?

Hook your tuner up to the truck and your tuner up to your computer (hopefully you have a laptop). Doing this allows you to datalog pretty much everything you could ever want.

You can also have your tuner send you a parameters PID file that you can then load to your device through the LiveLink program

I just started with 5 star too. Love my 87 PT tune its rather fun. They sent me a new revision today due to a hard 5-4 downshift and had me the revision by email within an hour.

One of the best upgrades for your truck IMO

Makes such a big difference in drivability, performance, MPG etc..

You'll love it!
