Your reply to me has nothing to do with my old post. At all. My post is about the SCT BDX tuner and 5star tunes. Your reply is about the Ford Performance Package. Which I do not even mention.

I AGREE WITH YOUR DYNO COMMENT. I'M ONLY GOING BY WHAT FORD POSTED ON THEIR PERFORMANCE SITE WHICH IS/ARE THE RESULTS OF THEIR DYNO TEST 2019-2022 RANGER ECOBOOST POWER PACK PERFORMANCE CALIBRATION| Part Details for M-9603-REB | Ford Performance Parts STOCK SPECS ARE::

Horsepower270 hp @ 5,500 rpm
Torque310 lb-ft @ 3,000 rpm
AFTER INSTAL OF TUNER PROGRAM, IT SHOULD ADD THE BELOW
  • Improved drivability and throttle response throughout RPM range
  • Optimized shift schedule
  • Horsepower gain: 45 HP @ 4,500 RPM
  • Torque gain: 60 lb.-ft. @ 2,500 RPM

I’d been interested in seeing rear wheel hp and torque .

glad i came across this thread. was considering 5 star and leaning towards them, but now might have to reconsider. i can get 3 tunes from 5 star for less loot than 1 from unleashed, but i would rather be happy with 1 good tune than somewhat.disappointed with 3

FWIW I get a lot of traction control interruption on my Unleashed tune as well. But it's all expected due to low traction, high torque situations.:wink:

My poor Toyos are getting assraped.

I don't understand the folks in here that are so nonchalant about this issue. Given good surfaces, good tires and the power levels we're dealing with there is no way the traction control should be engaging at those speeds.

OP, stock Hankook FX-4 tires? Those are garbage. I got rid of them quick but it is possible they're breaking loose on you.

If this were happening to my truck I'd be very concerned.

The first thing I do when I get in the truck and start it, I turn off Traction Control, if it’s not raining and ASS .( no snow in Fla.)

I've had 5 star (93 performance) for over 2 years now. Zero issues.

I have tried both. The different 5-Star tunes stayed in my truck for about a half day. Not happy with them at all. Extremely happy with Unleashed.
