Well I loaded the tune and opened the garage door and guess what ..its raining. Argh 
Well damnit we are going anyway.
A little background first. I have been running 5* Star p/t 91 for about a year and have been happy with it. My plugs were gapped to 0.034 back in October(need to go to 0.030) and the CAC was tsb updated(but not upgraded, thanks a lot Ford) about March. Mods are in my Sig.
Anyway here are my short driving impressions. This tune,level 5?, DOES have the low end torque that 5* had. Probably more! Really pulls and I really like it! I don't hear the BOV near as much as I heard with the 5*, which seemed excessive. Also the FE acts like it should be better as 5* star was about 1mpg worse than stock for me.
The thing has so much damn power that it can get a little squirrelly in the rain and I unintentionally shifted to 4auto instead of 4high, which caused it to bang hard when I got on it. These are not downsides for me though as I wanted power and I sure got it.
I believe that this thing will settle in nicely after the computer learning curve. Thanks to Shawn and the guys datalogging. Job well done.
Looks like the rain is about done. Time to take it out again.

This EB platform impresses me everyday. For last ten years I was in the duramax diesel world so low end torque is something you get used to. Before I switched I was tuning my truck with EFILive. Lots of nights of data logging and tweaking. It got to the point it was like an addiction so I had to change something up so the diesel went down the road. As we know gas engines are completely different so I will leave the tuning to the professionals. The customer service from Shawn is why I will stay. When the tuner wants it perfect for each individual person you can't lose!
