Going to dyno in about 2 weeks - have the girlfriend here now...so play time. I have the AFE intake, 5 Star Tune, full race intercooler, 170 thermostat and Turbo Adapters. So with the tune and limiter set at 120 i should do the pull in 7th right?

7th gear seems to be the ticket

6th gear hits over 100......my guess is even 7th at 120 you wont get the full range. I was forced to do mine in 5th.

I have the spd turbo adapters /roush cold air with the 5 star tune and noticed a huge difference in faster turbo spool between gears , way more responsive , less turbo lag and a good amount of power. This is on my daily street tune 91 octane and allowed abit more air for my kooks down pipe going on soon. Towing a 4500 lb boat was amazing the power difference made it feel noticeably easier. However I am having a issues with my cruise control now ever since doing the tune. If I set for 75 mph it will go to 74 and up to 78 then slow down and keeps changing all time jerky and has something to do with this big performance change I'm guessing. Gas ⛽️ mileage definitely went down as it's holding higher RPM and wants to boost up way faster. Great value and will be doing dono pulls once kooks DP is installed.

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



I am with you . I am on several forums and I have never witnessed the BS that goes on here

I sent in my stock file on Friday and waiting for my tunes.

I get worried reading some people's experiences with the tuning. I guess you can't have it all but I was looking for the ability to turn it up when I want some additional performance but keep it mild when I have the kids and wife in the car. What worries me is that this is my driver and I don't want to change the comfort and cruising factors. I will drive to Miami back from Orlando at least a few times a month (8hrs on highway) - using cruise control and hope it won't change that ease of driving for me.
