Finally had a chance to video tape the results of the 5 Star tune. It rained out today so I went and had some fun on a wet road...the beast certainly wouldn't do this before! And then any 5.4 owner will know what I'm talking about with the shift lag around 40...no more lag. Enjoy...

Man! I sure like my 2011 gauge package better than the white faced ones. Oh Sorry, not cranking on ya, just a comment. Oh, the 6.2 does that with anything on the road, rain, dust, whatever. If its wet out I have to just put it in 4 high.

Ok so honestly. How much of a change did the tune do for power and transmission

it's pretty night and day. i thought the video would provide the answers. we all know BDRAG's 6.2 turns the earth on its axis, but really that jolt of power the tune kicks in made it possible to break them loose up to 60mph. yes it's a wet road, but still...it was fighting the traction control.

i'll go do one with traction control off if you want to see.

i gotta run out to the store in a few minutes i'll try to grab some 5.4 > 6.2 footage
Get a good vid with the TCS all the way off. And try from a slower speed. I'm anxious to see this thing rev and handle shifts in the wet.
