Custom 5 Star Tune with HP Tuners NGauge

[Wizo]

Thanks bro! I am sure I won't think about it after I do it but it's like I am cheating on my dealer and don't want them to find out about my girlfriend- especially if something goes wrong.

I plan on using the performance tune rarely and will use the daily tune frequently. I will fill everyone in once I know how it feels after a week or so.

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.

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with my 93 performance tune.. Nothing to worry about,
I used my cruise control and didn't have any issues and mine has the cruise control with assist option ..

were you successful on the 7th gear pull. I couldn't get it to stay in gear in 7th. I would shift out at 5000 even if I raised all the WOT shift points to 8k. I would think it would refer to the WOT shift points as the other gears did. I wound up doing all of them in 6th gear.

Are you saying that in manual it would shit on its own?

Yes

Yes

Is there an option to lock out 8,9,10 in manual mode via the software before you make the pull?
So it doesn't shift...

I didn't dig much deeper due to time constraints. 6th gear held, and my numbers were real close to a buddy of mine, adam at rev auto. So we wanted to be able to compare results

After more talking with 5star, they do their dynos in 5th too. Think they might setup a tune specific for dynos to lock converter etc too. For us, most important that we do before and after in the same gear and as closely follow same process (all TC/AdvTrac off, manual, mode, rpm start etc)

Hope to get back on and try 6th and 7th to see results. Really need good cool down in between, as I recall from stock dynos, it pulled a bit of power when heatsoaked.

Those tire speed ratings though....

I dyno'd in 5th..will do my next one in 5th as well.

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.

I have mine set to 91 performance and during the 3.5 hour drive from phoenix to Havasu it did the exact same thing. Would not maintain the set cruise speed. I turned off adaptive cruise and using the standard cruise it still did the same thing. Set at 75 would go up to 77 and then pull back to 73 or 74. Then all of the sudden it slammed in to 7th gear unbelievably hard out of no where and for no reason. Definitely has me concerned. I just re-flashed to the 91 daily tune until I can figure out what the heck is going on.
