    I was watching closely and debating/waiting for the product to "mature" a bit and make sure it was thoroughly tested. Well, I couldn't wait any longer, I talked to 5Star for a while last week and got convinced so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on their tuning via the ngauge platform. The tuner should arrive today and I should be able to spend some time with it this weekend. I know many are interested in this product so i'll try to do some sort of a write up after the weekend with my experience. I'm pretty excited about it, their dyno runs claim an additional 76hp to the wheels on their 93octane tune, that's a pretty material increase.

    If you like it, please be sure to post website information, too. Happy tuning and wheeling.

    Felt the same way and mine arrived last week but today I'm installing mine. They have sent back the tune file and I'm installing today. They claim with the mods I have I should see upwards of 120 hp gains. 100 now and a 20 plus hp gain with the downpipe from kooks arriving anytime. Post reviews this week once it's done.

    King of cars, that's awesome, have you had a chance to download the tunes to your ngauge yet, then to the truck? I hit a snag and a small delay on my end, I called 5Star and apparently I am 1 in a million that had this issue (just my luck I guess) but my SD card they sent me was a read only application and the permissions were locked down so I was not able to pull and drag my emailed tunes over to the SD card. I talked to Josh over at 5Star and he is going to overnight back the SD card with my tunes once he gets it back in his shop. I sent it out on Monday from Texas, my tracking says it will get there by Friday because of the holiday delay. Anyways, looks like you will be able to drop the tunes on your truck before me, keep me posted, would love to hear what you think. Also, I was wondering what else to do you have done to your truck that will give you 100hp (before the downpipe)? Performance wise, I just have an intake and they said on their dyno that set up was producing an incremental 76hp on the 93 octane tune.
