Transform Your Powerboost with 5 Star Tuning

There's no doubt the 2021-2022 F150 3.5L V6 Powerboost is a marvel of engineering, but its factory tuning leaves untapped performance waiting to be unleashed. The 5 Star Tuning HP RTD+ bridges that gap, delivering massive gains in horsepower, torque, and overall drivability. Whether you’re looking to tow with confidence, accelerate with authority, or enjoy a smoother daily drive, this tuner unlocks your truck’s true potential. With custom calibration tailored to your specific needs, the HP RTD+ turns your Powerboost into the ultimate combination of power and efficiency.

Customize Your Drive Using Just Your Smartphone

Take control of your F150 like never before with smartphone connectivity built into the HP RTD+. This user-friendly feature lets you load, adjust, and switch between up to 10 custom tunes directly from your mobile device. Need to switch from a towing setup to a performance tune? It’s just a few taps away. Beyond tuning, the device allows you to monitor essential engine parameters in real time, such as RPM, coolant temperature, and boost levels. Whether you’re fine-tuning your setup or checking diagnostics, this seamless integration keeps you in the driver’s seat—literally and figuratively.

Proven Performance You Can Feel Every Day

5 Star Tuning’s custom tunes are backed by extensive dyno and street testing to ensure real-world performance gains you can count on. With the 93 octane tune, your F150 PowerBoost jumps from 421 HP and 569 lb-ft of torque to 524 HP and 610 lb-ft—a massive 103 HP and 41 lb-ft increase. This means quicker acceleration, smoother gear changes, and effortless towing and hauling, all while eliminating sluggish throttle response. But why stop there? By running an E30 or E50 ethanol blend, you can push your truck’s output even further—up to 605 HP and 650 lb-ft of torque. That’s 184 extra horsepower over stock, delivering serious pulling power and enhanced throttle sensitivity. Plus, every tune is meticulously tested for reliability, ensuring you get peak performance without sacrificing durability or fuel efficiency. Whether your truck is stock or modified with bolt-ons, these custom tunes transform how it drives—making it feel more responsive, powerful, and capable in any situation.

HP Tuners now offers an upgrade service for the MG1 PCM found in 2021-2022 Ford F-150 trucks powered by the 3.5L and 2.7L EcoBoost V6 or 5.0L V8 gas engine. This service enables full functionality of VCM Suite software custom tuning using an RTD+ or newer generation interface.

Once upgraded, your PCM will support calibration, logging, and scanning through the OBDII port using the latest version of VCM Suite.

No Relearns/Reprogramming Required:

  • No IMMO relearn*
  • No crank relearn*

*As long as the PCM is installed back into the same vehicle it came from.
