He didn't. Some newbies have trouble following helpful advice if they have to put in a little effort.

Hey now don't jump to conclusions and bash the noob. Maybe he did, but maybe he is only asking up follow-up questions about five 5-star and the X4 in particular

If he had went to their site, he would have seen what he asked for; results on paper, before & after a 5star tune and a sct x4 Setup

Plus I asked him if he had looked at the link I posted for him when he was online. No reply . When people help you it's pretty standard that you comment on the information they provided.

I agree with the last statement but some people can't check the forums all the time.

Also he was asking us if we had personal dynos or knew of Dyno graph from other customers, not from five-star themselves.

Just saying.... let's see what this guy is about before we just go off on him LOL

I posted the link yesterday at 11:30 pm. He was online today as late as 7:30 am He checked the forums.
There are graphs from 5 star customers posted if you go to their site and follow the link

How do you know that he didn't check the link quickly before going to work?

He asked a simple question. I looked at it like maybe he wanted our personal experience. I for one do not trust Dyno graphs from manufacturers. I put much more stock in customers personal Dyno graphs.

To be honest all you had to do was simply point out that five star has Dyno graphs on their site, with the link you provided. Then wait for him to have more time to fully check it out.

I'm not trying to defend him, and God forbid he's an idiot. I'm just pointing out that you got a little defensive that he didn't worship you right away because you provided a link

In April they did a gear swap to 3.73 on a 2015 F150 5.0.

Truck has a lot more low end snap through out the gears and drive easy truck maintains some very good fuel mileage.

No matter how it came out, my goal was to help the guy.

hey guys,

i saw the site and all the info. im just not satisfied with the numbers.

even with the mods its doesnt come close to what 3.5 ecoboost is delivering at low RPM's ( 3.5 is at 420lbs @ 2500rpm and the 5.0 is 387 @ 3850rpm ) this is a huge gap i want to compensate the loss compared to my 3.5

I love the truck overall. the roar of a v8 is awesome.

I had worked and pleasure driven the 2014 FX-4 3.5L with 3.55 for almost 2 year and a half. the truck pulled hard and when my enclosed trailer attached (7X14 v-nose loaded around 2500LBS and total 4000lbs) i almost never noticed if i were hauling or not.

the engine that i opted for the 5.0 with 3.73 ratio was because it was the only one available at the dealer and the sales rep told me you wouldnt notice anything if your not hauling 10 000LBS.

the first day i attached my trailer trailer to it the truck i instanly felt the lack of torque! HUGE difference! like just from 50km-h to 100km-h is just terrible on full throttle. if feels like im hauling 15 000LBS

my real Question is is there any way i could have same specs or better as the 3.5 ecoboost? i really want 420lbs @ 2500rpm or better! if not i really have to sell the truck its crazy weak engine

PS: im hauling 4000-4500lbs 80% of the time that im using the truck so its really a big deal for me

thanks for your help and advice! im just have no experience in american v8's tuning im used to tune turbo german cars lol
