5 Star Tune on the Godzilla 7.3 V8?

Has anyone installed a 5 Star Tune on the Ford 7.3 V8?

I installed one on my 2016 V10 a few years ago and was pleased with the results, but not nearly as impressed as some folks that have the 5 speed transmission. I am very pleased with the performance of the V8 in my newer F53, but was just wondering if a 5 Star Tune would make it any better.

Less slip in shift points can lower heat in clutch packs. More power available under ones foot can stress the rest of drivetrain lol. Looks like many viewers want you to be the beta tester and let know how it works out. Seems like 7.3 has much more power to unlock by dyno graphs. https://5startuning.com/got-a-class-a-7-3l-motorhome/

Thanks for the reply and the link. I think I will wait until my warranty expires before I give it a try. The 7.3 is a big improvement over the V10, but it seems like I'm on the never ending quest to make it better.

5 Star said I could use the box that I bought to install the tune on my previous MH and they would email the new tune, but I don't recall the price they quoted.
