5 star tune

guys or even gals, if you have a Ford V10, get the 5star tune, it will be the best $400 you ever spent on your coach. I cant believe the difference in the shifting, downshifting or lack of. The engine seems to sound better especially when climbing. Next is the banks power pack

    No it tuned for 87 octane


    Yep any octane you want. I have the 89 octane tunes (economy, towing and performance). you can get either of the 3 87, 89 or 93! or any combination of the 3. and you can change some of the settings through the tuner if you`de like.

    Yes 5 star is the best for the V-10. I have it on my 02 and it was money well spent. I got it for the improved shifting strategy, which it does very well! a side benefit Is that I gained almost .5mpg towing! wish I would`ve gotten it years ago!

    I`m assuming you have the coach in your sig? 2014? I was wondering how well the stock V-10 and 5 speed performed? glad it is working out well!


    I was rather surprised that it hauled as well as it did, i weigh 22,500 loaded. Its in getting a banks power pack installed as we speak. Mike at 5 star custom tuned it for the power pack. The lack of downshifting is what impressed me. With the new fuel parameters set, it really rumbles


    Good to know! We are looking at class A`s and I was curious how well the new Ford Chassis performed. thanks for the update!

  • I don't have a V10 but I can vouch for 5 Star on my Ecoboost. It is a towing machine with their 93 octane tow tune.
