[QUOTE="CWBROWN, post: 1170243, member: 22174"] So I called 5 Star yesterday to have a few of my own questions answered and wanted to share a few takeaways 1) They are running the N-gauge for the Gen 2 right now because it's the only one that will allow them to tune for both the engine and transmission. 2) The SCT Tuners should be coming but it's looking like that will not support the transmission but they are still working on it. 3) They have about 300 runs on the dyno and they aren't running the standard 35's on the truck because of the cost to replace the tires. They probably would have went through a few sets by now. They have actually been running standard wheels and tires off an F150. I sure the weight saving of the wheel/tire combo is helping to boost the numbers a small bit (just my opinion). 4) It seems that the drop in filter compared to the CAI are making within ~10hp of each other (Not sure if it's enough hp for me to spend the extra money on the CAI). 5) There seems to be less issues with heat if you go with the closed system "like" AFe. There has been some other threads about warm air and the affects of sucking in all the heat off the engine in an open system. Just a few thoughts from my conversation. I am just trying to do some research. Should I go 5 Star or wait for the Ford Performance tune. [/QUOTE]
