Custom 5 Star Tune with HP Tuners NGauge

xrocket21 · May 26, 2017

I have had a couple days running this now, and I love it.

This is the second time I have used 5 Star and they do a great job.

I have only run the 91 race tune so far and it is very impressive. The truck is significantly faster, and I am much happier with the shift points.

The N Gauge is a nice unit and very configurable, it came with a windshield mount I am using for now, but I will mount it better someday when I have time.

I have lost about 0.5 mpg, but I love the power increase. Defeating the auto-start stop permanently without any dash lights is a nice feature as well. Thanks again @5startuning

Do you keep the truck in normal? How does it work with the different drive modes?

I mostly drive in normal.

All drive modes work just as they did before, no change there, other than more power and more boost in all modes.

Nice! I've never had one of these, is it pretty easy to install/ change gas octane modes in case you cant find a gas station with high octane ratings?

Easy to do but takes a bit over 10 min

Do you feel like you're getting the results that 5star advertises? One other user on here with the 5star tunes had dyno results showing ~20 rwhp gain and ~50 rwtq gain instead of the (noticeably) bigger numbers shown by the vendor.

How hard is it to go back to stock if you need to take the truck in for service?

Yes, I feel like I am getting proper results.

I saw that other poster, and either he is lying or doing something wrong. I believe he stated he could barely tell a difference on the 91 race tune.

I am running the 91 race tune and it is a significant difference, in power, shift points, etc.

Reflash the stock map and unplug the tuner.

Someone looking hard enough could still tell it was flashed.

How long did you wait for your tunes? I'm going on 5 days but it's memorial day weekend so I figured I'd wait until Wednesday to email again

Right on. I'm not trying to start a forum pissing contest, just trying to reconcile (what appears to be) conflicting results.

I want to say that you've expressed in the past that you intended to do the SPD adapters and the tune... does that describe your current configuration?
