Currently I am running SPD turbo adapters, an AFE Momentum GT intake, and the 5 star tunes, currently 91 race, moving to 93 street today hopefully.
Hi. I was wondering if you installed the 93 street and how does it compare to the 91 performance?
Noticable power increase or is it just more aggressive shifts that you noticed between the two??

I find it interesting that they won't sell tunes without the purchase of that damn windshield bling. One has HP Tuners and the 4 credits need yet they will not sell one without buying that ngauge!! Must be making a killing on those!

I am not a fan of the street tunes. I have tried 91 performance, 91 street, and 93 performance.

I run 93 performance when I can, but usually 91 performance as 91 is easier to find.

I believe I can feel a difference between 91 and 93 tunes.

Yeah those NGauges probably bring in the money for them. I don't even leave mine hooked up. I flash the tune and then put the gauge back in the box and under my seat until I need it again.

Id really like to see some of you other tuned guys hit a dyno to see what your getting. I do believe that 5 star does run their dyno in 5th gear too, as running in the correct 7th gear gets them to eff 120+mph speeds, think relating to liability/dot tire ratings they stray from this. Not to speak out of place, and may be off from what i gathered in my converations, but believe they run a tune with a tweak specifically for the dyno to lock the converter to get a more accurate road like number in that 5th gear.

I do know KHC dynod theirs on their mustang dyno in 7th gear and got stock #s comparable to the magazine data. Hoping they get a customer truck in soon to confirm with the tune @KHC Andrei @khcdave

I'm sure you would like to see other people spend their money for your benefit, seems like a running theme on this site

I don't think I'll probably ever see a dyno with this truck. Although my butt dyno feels substantially noticeable gains from the 91 Performance tune.

No, the benefit is for EVERYONE here to know where their money goes... To correct you, the running theme here lately is members bickering, not contributing to the community and derailing threads with posts that dont help others or with no data to support their comments.

I take the time, a lot of time, to make posts of my experiences, DIYs, compare parts, spend money on dyno time to help others here, as i benefited greatly from the early gen1 owners on here. To say i'm looking for a handout is pretty ridiculous, move along
