I decided to take a peek at 5Star tunes (Had one on my 2001 e250 sports mobile and loved it) I impulsively clicked the "I got to have it" button at 30% off but my order was quickly denied by 5Star due to CARB regulations. Total bummer.

Friend or Family in another state, ship it there an option?
I do not have a tune so curious if one could order it out of state and then self-install in CA?

with 5 Star looks like you'll need proof or Insurance and registration in another state

I didn't know and having ordered from 5 Star previously although 5 years ago i didn't think it was an issue but now that I'm $12 short CC processing fee ? and 3 days late on black Friday / cyber deals my impulsive purchasing may have been checked ?

Seems Livernois is a big fan favorite here so Ill likely go with them when I'm ready. I previously had great a experience with 5 Star so that was my loyalty blindly leading me.

I went with a Ford Performance Tune on my '21 Ranger STX. I just plug the module into the comp every 6-12 months incase ford made changes or tweaks. No complaints with it after 2 1/2 years.

And general headache from all the regulatory BS

OP - Livernois FTW, same as Ford Performance but you get the tech support should you have any issues/questions

Retired, work is a four letter word.
I have a 5-star on my MH, a re-ship, but I rarely drive it here as a full tank gets me out of state. I have a Ford tune on my Ranger as it is legal here. I have nothing bad to say about CARB, they have really cleaned up the air out here, used to not even be able to see downtown from the buttes 15 years ago, now it is mostly clear.
