Tuning my 2021 F150 | 5 STAR TUNING

In todays video we tune my 2021 Ford f150 5.0 using the SCT X4 with 5 Star Tuning. We load the performance 93 tuning and I give honest feedback and reaction.

[@jakepoole5865]

Let's gooo I love the 21 f150 videos. Great way to start the year of 2023

[@CarolinaBowTie]

Thanks for supporting the Carolina’s with your purchase from 5 star! They’re a local to me. Loving the f150 build.

[@jamesworkman686]

Feel like I've been waiting for this video just as much as you've been waiting for the tune lol I have a livernois tune on mine it's a local company here in Michigan

[@KhaiMahase]

Great video! Also if you ever add a remote start to Larry, chomper or the new Tahoe can you make a video on it! I’m planning to add one to one of my dads car but wiring seems a bit tricky but if I follow everything correctly it should work the right way

[@gabrielchristopher9625]

Excited to see if there’s a significant difference with the E85 tune.

[@chrislucas5177]

I'm not too surprised that the 93 tune didn't outperform the stock e85. How did it compare to your time with the stock tune and 93? I think you have posted a vid before but couldn't remember. Love the content! Keep it coming, I drive a 21 F150 5.0 4x4 also!

[@paytonwoodard5767]

Keep up the good work👍.

[@Brian_195]

I have the Oz Omega X tune on my 2019 Roush and I love it. It’s like a brand new beast. I hope you give Oz Tuning a shot whenever they get their 21+ tunes out and available. Oz is a magician with our 10 spd. Coyotes.

I couldn't agree more. Ken really knows his stuff.

[@Billy-hx3zi]

I’m leaning towards one of these Fords. Yours looks sharp as hell!

[@kev_lsn7042]

I will say, I was a little upset when he traded in the Sierra for the F150. However, it’s came along way in the few short months he’s owned it. Like night and day, and I actually really like it now.

[@Billy-hx3zi]

@@kev_lsn7042 I know right! I liked the Sierra too. I never really liked these Fords until I seen his lol, now I’m thinking about trading in my 2014 Silverado for a 2018+ F150 limited, unless I can find a F250 limited that doesn’t cost as much as a house lol

I’m not a ford guy, but his truck is damn sharp looking lol

[@blakestephens6456]

I love the 150 but chomper got a special place in my heart

[@miketrujeque1329]

I started with 5 star tunes, wasn't happy how It shifted and that I was limited to a certain fuel, switched to Oz Omega flex tune, big difference you won't look back!

[@kennethstuff9028]

5 Star has adaptive tunes. You just picked the wrong tunes when you ordered lol.

[@jasonmccoy6052]

I know the manifold has changed on 21+ so has the way it bolts up. I'd assume it is losing power drastically after 6800rpm .

[@169abr]

To anyone wondering, yes tuning a Coyote is worth it. Pick a good, reputable tuner, these engines and transmissions especially really wake up.

@@shadfallfan SCT X4, just the canned tune that comes with it. I’m waiting to spend any money on name brand tuning until I buy a house and shit.

[@davidu8688]

​​@@169abr idk I just got the sct x4 for my 2017 5.0 f150 and sports mode is stronger than the tune but i am only using the 87 octane as of now since I got it yesterday. I havent really noticed much of a difference at all really on 87 after spending over $600 for "custom tune" is pretty sad. For almost $700 it should definetly be noticable and I see no difference. Ill try the 93 but my hopes are not up too high right now. Also not sure about the "5 star".

[@dennisbutz123]

2021 5.0 with the Livernois tune is a nasty beast. Even with 6in lift and 35's, it goes. Shifts will about break your neck, but I like it. Feels like a race truck

[@christian7200]

Livernois ftw. I’ve had my 5.0 running the livernois tune for about 6 months now. Curious how this 5 star and the Oz tunes compare. Just glad more people are able to tune them now

[@vartdover2102]

I have the livernois tune in my 2021 single cab and definitely felt a difference but I will say this I know there’s more in the truck I feel like after second gear it’s not really all that

[@Rollin60wit38]

I ain’t bout to lie that truck mean as hell.

[@square348apple3]

Quadzilla tuner on a 98 cummins is just about as complicated to get put on but overall the quadzilla was simple to install

[@ransom8554]

Chase when the pump is slow like that it’s vapor locked. You can sometimes just let off the handle, take it out of the truck, tap the nozzle on the concrete ground and wait ten seconds and then re-insert and pull the trigger again. It should noticeably pick up pace. Love your vids. Big sub here!

[@JKZ103]

With e85, you can throw more timing at the ecu, so I'm not surprised the stock e85 beat the 93 tune... I bet the 5 star e85 tune is nasty... plus e85 has a much higher octane rating than pump 93

[@treymcwilliams137]

I’d love to hear a ghost cam tune on your 5.0 I have a 2015 5.0 and I’m very interested just nervous about it.

[@darkhorse3856]

You should of did livernois motorsports they were the first to tune the 21 and up f150 and trust me you can feel the difference and see the difference and you don’t have to worry about what gas you put in on there tune. They have great customer service to.

[@jamescrain2270]

Hell yeah. I wanna see the f150 on e85 they say it's a noticeable difference, fuel system for chomper in the future?

[@mr.sunnyrise1571]

Main question to clear the air. How much faster is this tuned 5.0 than your previous tuned 6.2 Chevy?

[@tuffram2165]

Just a FYI there is a Firmware update for the SCT that drastically improves the tuning time.

[@reflectionrecon]

Great Video, How is the Tranny shifting on your truck. My 2021 F150 feels very Harsh?

[@cameronlee22]

hey man try putting a 5.0 mustang intake manifold on the truck. should make a. big difference.

Does this tuner also let you adjust your tire size if you get bigger tires, just wondering. Thank you!

[@davideverman7984]

I take it the dyno sheet you are showing is a baseline in orange 87 octane; the red is 93 tuned; and the yellow is tuned on E-85?

[@manuelluhanga]

MPT next! Yay

[@putz173]

you can pull the strategy from the ODB II without disconnecting the ECU, i think you just need the ECU direct access to write.

[@salinasmembrillo]

Does five star delete the speed governed? Good looking truck!

[@codysproductions]

With the more power that you have, you could just be spinning so much maybe try and do it on your stock tires and see if there’s a difference

[@markcarraway879]

Key on engine off (KOEO} means disconnect the battery cable to the tuner.

I have had a Livernois e30 tune on my 2021 F150 3.5 EcoBoost for well over a year now. I’m overall not impressed with it, seems to have very limited tuning abilities for the trans and without running a JB4 on top of the tune, it’s not a significant difference in power. I have already ordered the 5 Star kit so I’ll be able to compare them apples to apples when it comes in. I’ve always had 5 star tune my other trucks and never been disappointed!

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

@@allstarnb1 This sounds like you might not have installed the tune fully, or done any datalogging revisions, as we have multiple 11 second tune only 21+ 3.5 trucks out there. Plus, tune revisions are free, so you never have a reason to purchase any other device or tubes as we provide updates, logging revisions, and custom requests all free of charge.

[@allstarnb1]

@@LivernoisMotorsports the tune is definitely installed correctly and I have had at least 5 tune revisions maybe even more. Nothing much comes out of any of them. I’ve spoken with Chris Rukuc numerous times and I even sent y’all a tune file I had previously from 5 Star. So unless y’all have made a huge improvements within the last six or months, I’m not satisfied.

[@cmccane]

I just clicked on your video based on me narrowing down who I want to tune with for my 2021 2.7ecoboost. In the past I've heard 5* being too aggressive for shifting. Do they now allow for tuning revisions by asking them to dial back the firmness? I still wish Cobb would support the 2.7 in the 2021+ but they've left us in the dust. Your 5.0 sounds amazing! Love the hood too. I have the same color truck. Livernois and palm beach dyno are the next two options I'd consider after 5*.

[@kennethstuff9028]

Yeah they will adjust the shifting if it is too aggressive for you. I like their shifting myself but everyone has different tastes. Even the guys tuning your truck.

Spent some cash on intake and tuning but undid all potential with a massive rotating inertia in wheel and tire choices. Be .5 second faster with something closer to OEM wheel and tire weight than that garbage. With a high miles (209,xxx) 1st gen 2.7 Supercrew I have ran a 2.07 0-60 launching in 2wd, 4.89 0-60, 8.57 1/8th and 13.17 1/4. Again launching in 2wd, on the street with an all season tire. 4wd would be considerably better and we will soon see. I have 20 inch aftermarket wheels but I chose similar offset to OEM and not heavy. 29.5 lbs each and a light tire. Expecting 1.80 60ft and 4.10 0-60 in 4wd maybe faster. 5 star tuned. I think I have the only utube video sub 5 second 0-60 in a F150 Supercrew on an all season tire in 2wd. 255/50r20. Anybody can launch in 4wd.
