5 Star Ecoboost Tune Reviews

In 4th gear while accelerating it would feel as if there was miss or the torque converter was locking and unlocking. Nothing major. Just not smooth.

Got mine yesterday and installed the 91 performance tune. Took it for a longer drive today of about 200km and noticed a few things.
It was easier to maintain my speed ie. the gas pedal felt more modulated. This may be because it was out of boost most of the time.
Milage got progressively better. Went from 14.9l/100km to 14.3. I was pleased to see that.
Seems to drive out of boost most of the time, untill you want it, then its like a rocket.
Drivability is much improved.
My device won't communicate with my computer and I have a few issues with the drivers and software but hopefully we can get them sorted out.
Overall, really happy. I only have about 1900 km on the truck, so am anticipating milage going up.

I will try to keep this short about two weeks ago had a slight miss at wide open throttle at first thought it was maybe traction control turned it off and still was there. I called Mike at five star and I put stock tune on it it was still there not as bad but still there took it to the dealer and they plugged it in checked it out flashed it with a update and the miss was gone. (They did not say anything or ask about tuners at all) Mike sent me new files for the update and it is good as new. After driving around with the stock file again you feel like you are driving a different truck or I should say same truck and a lot less motor. Thank you Mike for updating the tune to the new flash from Ford it is great to drive again.

I ordered mine this past Monday and got it on Friday (yesterday) along with the flo pro exhaust. I loaded the 87 per/tow and grabbed the wife and went for a quick spin. All I can say is WOW! The smiles never left our faces.
Came back home and installed the flo pro exhaust. Now she looks, sounds & performs great...the truck that is! LOL
Thanks Mike & 5 star.

Is there any way of getting a vid of the exhaust? I love my 91 perf/tow from mike... It's so nice to be able to just hook up to the trailer and not have to de tune or anything.

How do I save a copy of the truck's stock tune to my home computer for an added safety factor of having an additional backup? do I use the SCT device updater and select stock file from device?

My laptop and tuner won't communicate or recognize each other. The dialog box can't be expanded and I can't scroll through it either. Kind of a pain.
