Custom 5 Star Tune with HP Tuners NGauge

BurnOut said:

Right on. I'm not trying to start a forum pissing contest, just trying to reconcile (what appears to be) conflicting results.

I want to say that you've expressed in the past that you intended to do the SPD adapters and the tune... does that describe your current configuration?

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.

I wonder if that's the difference... the adapters (or intake). I would think that the adapters would make a bigger difference as power is increased over stock...

I highly doubt that is the difference.



I put the intake on this weekend and that made very little difference.



I really can't speak on what that other guy experienced, nor do I have dyno plots.

You come across kind of like a ****. The guy is just asking questions as to your setup and what might be different from the other guys.

No, I'm not calling you a **** just staying what one may perceive based on your response.

Glad it's working out for you!

I am the "other guy" and have posted in several places here, and FB that I am happy with the tune. Good power, improved pedal response, overall improvements. Do I want more power, of course.

I was very clear in those posts that the dynos were done in 5th gear, not done in 7th gear (1:1), as they should be. I will be re-dynoing in 7th soon, also sending logs in to 5 star to confirm my files were the correct octane/etc. The more info sharing we have, the more improvements we can make. It took a lot of searching to even get the trans gearing info, so hoping these posts help share more info for others.

Buddy with Whipple Gen1 and a notorious gen2 hater ( @Crikk ) drove my truck this weekend and was impressed. The way this truck delivers power with 10 speed and quiet exhaust is deceiving, You have to look at speedo to really acknowledge it.

You can never have enough power!

Someday I would like to dyno mine for sure. I am happy with the performance though, it seems like a significant difference to me.

Good to know about 7th gear, if I ever do mine, I will be sure to use 7th. Not a lot of dynos where I live though...

]I have found the most noticable is when I have to pass a car, you really get around them faster and easier.
