look at it like this if you are in heavy traffic you want eco tune if you live in the country you want perf tune. or you can use the manual and shift down when off roading or use the hold in 3rd gear. these trucks are amazing.

exactly, and if thats the case then why even use a econ tune? just manual shift in city like how the econ tune shifts and blamo, thats how I use my 91 perf tune.

cause yep as u said, these trucks ARE AMAZING

look at your elevation that plays a huge part in it....i have the 5 star tune 91 performance went down to phx from 5500 ft elevation and my truck ran like bojangles from la migra...then when i got back home it just ran ok...dont get me wrong better then before but it takes a lot to impress me my other truck makes 1600 hp lol

Wilson said his truck chirps when it changes gears, he's not running 5 Star though.

I must be in the eco tune it shifts at 35 40 maybe that is why it chirps threw 3rd gear. I need to just go mess with the thing but I'm lazy and will just let dyno tune USA do it. I should send him to TRR this or next year. I have the diablosport but is basically the same as 5 stare. I'm having Andy do a custom tune for me because I run hear it comes e-30

i have a performance too but it still dont chirp gears. what else do u have done?

i see with wilson only thing different besides the tune is long tubes really.

AfE. Magnaflow catback. Increased shift pressure in the SCT options. I can only do it in D. M mode I can't hit the button to shift fast enough not to hit the limiter.
