btw holy cow i [ut the tune on my truck even though i havent received my intake and exhaust yet and holy cow! truck is so much better

 

[locktech]

Do you guys actually use 93 octane gas? or just octane booster? I never see 93 octane around here...

I use 93 octane and have the 93 performance tune. Expensive but worth it IMO!

I am being such a bitch! Received my tuner in the mail last night, and now I have the "what if it voids...." haha..I need to man up and just do it. '13 with 13k on it and not a single issue through the phases. I was cautious when I first got it, then opened it up a bit, then stomped on it, offroaded it, too... Not a single issue. I hope it stays that way and I've built a pretty good relationship with my service guy at the dealer.

Can I just put it in a little? Like maybe only the tip? If it causes problems, I'll never do it again..

So whatever fuel grade tune you are useing you must use the fuel grade or higher.

Correct. There is also some adjustments to turn the spark +/- a few degrees, if necessary.

 

[Chris@FreedomMotorsports]

That is correct. If you are running a 93 octane tune you need to stick with 93 octane. It IS possible to run 93 with a 91 octane tune if you bump the global spark up by a positive +3 degrees during installation of the tune. But running a different octane fuel that the tune is built for can cause detonation of it is higher octane and loss of power output with lower octane.

Damn you my 900 km Raptor! Why cant you stay stock for another 9100k km...
Ordering my SCT x4 as I type this.

 

[5star]

I waited to post up my findings until I had over 200 miles on the truck with a 91 octane tune. All I can say is that I hope ford does not get a hold of this tune and put it in at the factory cuz 5 star will be out of business. This is a great tune and how the truck should run and shift from the factory.

Thanks Mike
You guys are awesome!!

Russ Out

Thank you for the feedback! We too believe this is how the truck should be from the factory!

Is there a work around to keep your factory warranty with a tune on our trucks? I know on a chevy you can have a stock ECU and swap them out if you ever need any work done. I know things are getting tougher these days but I'd hate to void a warranty on a new truck

No worries. The tune (or any aftermarket part) does not directly void your factory warranty. The aftermarket part would have to directly cause damage/the issue for your warranty to be voided.
