gonna stir the pot...5.4 v 6.2

[Deinonychus]

I HATE fourth gear on pavement in my 6.2. The power curve seems to drop out completely in fourth and I have to drop the hammer to keep momentum going.

Does the 5 Star tune have a fix for the above problem?

 

[6.2]

I would assume it makes the experience infinite time better.

Well, I haven't read all the posts on here, but I'll say my piece:

Driven a 5.4 Raptor when they first came out and I was in love because I just wanted the ******* truck.

Had a 2010 6.2L. Loved it. Was fast until I raced my buddy with a 2011 Screw. He kicked my ass. I ran my 2010 in the 1/4 mile and ran a 15.3 @ 91.

When I got my 2011 Screw, I immediately posted about the POWER DIFFERENCE between the 2010 and 2011. Has to be with the ECU or something that Ford worked on for the difference in a year.

I got a tune, intake and exhaust on my 2011 and I now blow the doors off my buddy in his stock 2011 Screw.

I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to run a 5.4L with my truck now. Sure, I'm cheating since I have a tune and some parts -- but still, it'd be fun. I've smoked just about every truck I've come up against so far. Chevy, Dodge and Ford.

I had only run the Supercab. I've not run the Supercrew at the track.

so you said you did 15.3 with the '10 supercab and you're pretty confident the '11 screw is faster desipte the extra weight?

I'd be pretty happy if I could pull some high 14's with the truck. Not that I got it for drag racing, but just for power comparison sake, my one HD truck runs 10's, my other HD truck runs mid 13's, my stock L ran high 13's, and my fiance's 5.0 has ran 12.0, so if the truck can't even break out of the 16's I'm going to be in withdraw.

Just put my street HD truck back to N/A which it ran 16.2 before. N/A 5.4's blowwwwwwww! As long as my '12 screw can do low 15's I'd be satisfied. High 14's I'd be pretty darn happy.

Yes. I would say that my 2011 Screw would outrun my 2010 Supercab. It might be a 15.1 or something, not too sure. There is a track an hour away from me -- I should run it one night.

If you do run it, post the DA too, please
