Let me try this again since the stupid moble version ate my reply.
Wait till you drive a tuned EB. I run the 5* 87 octane tune most of the time because I don't want to pay for 93. It adds a good bit of power in the low end, cleans up the throttle response and shift pattern. Did I mention it will turn over both A/Ts going into 2nd? That will put a smile on your face every time. The 93 octane tune turns up the power even more and is a lot of fun but I don't use it much. On a stock truck 93 should give you a few more ponies but I doubt you'll really notice them.
Make sure to turn off all the TC when you try a boosted launch otherwise as soon as the rear end starts to step out it will end the party. What fun is that?

I will say that both the 5 star and MPT tunes woke up my 5.0 a great deal. With each, I was able to turn over the heavy meats in 2nd...just a little...and just every now and then.
Considering tuning makes a way yonder more differ'nce in the EB than it does in the 5.0, I'm super excited about getting tuned....some day...in probably 20-30K miles.
Gah, it's gonna be hard to wait that long....
