5 Star Tune

[1badraptor]

Looking for a 2010 6.2L Five Star Tune.

what you would have to do is buy a tuner such as an SCT and then you can have 5 star email you a tune for your truck. You CANNOT buy a tuner from another Raptor or Ford truck and have the tunes work on your vehicle. They are vehicle specific and 5 star needs the number off your computer to allow the Tunes you buy to work.

JimT is correct. mike needs the strategy code them he can make u a tune that will work.

So what is the advantage of buying a used on?

If you buy new from Mike, he gives you the tunes. If you buy used, you need to pay for them. Arnt they about the same price as the tuner?

The advantage is price. A new one with tunes is $429ish... Tunes alone from 5 Star are $80 each. 3 x $80 = $240.

If $240 + cost of used SCT < $429, then PROFIT.

Alternatively if you only want 1 or 2 tunes, you can surely come out ahead.

I have 91 perf and 91 econ, but I've never taken it off 91 perf and get 12.6mpg. Food for thought.

Exactly! Here is what I did, I found an unlocked SCT programmer for $140.00 off of Ford forum, contacted Mike at 5 star and with the info off the PCM he emailed me one tune. I know most ppl will buy 3 tunes but for me, I only burn 87 octane fuel so I only bought the 87 performance tune for $80.00. So my grand total expenditure was $220.00 which of course is much lower than $429.00 or whatever the price of a new programmer with tunes costs these days. So it was a NO BRAINER for me. It would be interesting to know of those who bought 3 tunes, how many actually switch between tunes. I think once you pick one you like then you don't switch around. My 0.2 anyway.

It's all bull..I bought a tuner with tunes in it. SCT with five star, and thought hell I just try first before buying new tunes. Worked like a champ! I have never bought any tunes and my works fine. and yes it was used.
