5Star Tuner questions

[Dkyacht]

Yeah the shifting has been my only gripe on the truck so far. I always tell people that it feels like its arguing with itself.

Like,
Hes hittin the gas, GO!
No, I have to shift properly and efficiently!

This definatley makes me want it even more now.

Question. I have an exhaust but not an intake yet cuz Im still deciding which one to get.

Will the tune b the same with and without the intake or should I get the intake first and have the tunes done after to match the intake and exhaust?

5star asks all those questions before doing your tune so you may want to do the intake then tune it. Look at their site, there's a bunch of info they want to know in order to get you the appropriate tunes.

How much do these tunes give the 6.2?

I believe it's around 15-20hp. The real gain is the transmission fix!

The tuner really does fix all of the transmission issues. Just like DK said above, it greatly improves the shift points, got rid of my rough idle and definitely added some power! Between my aftermarket exhaust, intake and now tuner, the truck just seems to have a ton of extra power! Supposedely you can get better gas mileage too... But I haven't taken my foot off the skinny pedal or changed out of the performance tune!

Your right, I was using "fix" loosely. You get the point that it's way better!

I'm thinking about going with a full Stainless Works exhaust without cats. Can he tune for the cat delete so I don't throw codes?

when buying it from 5star they ask you what mods you have done to give you the right tune for your truck, near the bottom of the form there a box that asks what mods have you done and you just put in what you have (exhaust, CAI, headers, ect.)

 

[NickPic83]

yeah just make sure to fill out all mods on the form or call them and be sure to tell them everything. they will take care of u, they r very easy to work with

Holy crap! I just installed 5Star tune on my '13 scab and it freakin rocks! A huge improvement in shifting and throttle response. I've been driving around this evening laughing like a madman. I'm lucky I didn't get a ticket. The beast has been unleashed! Well worth the money.
