They are both winners. But since you already have the 5* the 600.00 dollars for the livernois isnt worth the 2 tenths of a second.

I had the 5* 93 p/t tune. I ran it at the track and was very disappointed. Times were all over the place almost felt like it wasn't even tuned at times. As far a Livernois 93v2 goes it is fast. IMHO there is no comparison. The drivability on the Livernois tune is great and has all the power you want when you need it. I do think 5* has a great tow tune though.

Yes I wasn't impressed with 93 p/t. Tune just strictly for Perf either . But thats not the intent of that tune either, but it is better than my old flashpaq 91 tune

Does 5 star make a performance only tune? Or would that be the race tune?

What are you looking for in this tune then?

If you are looking for that low end feel of the the 5 Star per/tow tune with the top end quickness of a performance only tune then let me know when you find it because I gave up looking. If it can be done then that would be an awesome tune. I find it strange that Mike himself can not duplicate the low end of the perf/tow in his own performance only tune along with the other tuners I have tried. Even others like CBvet who has the Livernois tunes says it does not replicate the low end of the 5 Star, but the Livernois feels quicker with the throttle mashed.

That is why I ask what you are looking for in a tune. I have tunes that are definitely quicker than my 5 Star perf/tow, but I don't drive WOT all the time and would rather have my power feel in the rpms I usually drive in which is why my preferences favor the 5 Star. I know it is not the quickest, but I am not looking for the quickest in a daily driver. I prefer low end torque that I barely have to step on the throttle to get than all out quickness that I have to floor it to achieve. I don't race on the street and could care less if it is .4 seconds slower than another tuned Ecoboost that I may never even come across anyways. This is just me and my preferences which aren't yours so find out what you are wanting in a tune then go from there.
