A Simple Way to Wake Up Your Coyote Engine
The 2018-2020 F150 with the 5.0L Coyote V8 already delivers strong performance, but anyone who spends time around these trucks knows there is still plenty left in the tank. The Phase 1 Performance Package is designed for owners who want a noticeable bump in power and responsiveness without turning their truck into a complicated project. This setup combines a high quality cold air intake with proven custom tuning so your engine can breathe better and make more of the power it was designed to produce. The difference shows up right away when you drive the truck. Acceleration feels stronger, throttle response becomes more immediate, and the engine pulls more confidently through the rev range. Whether you use your F150 for daily commuting, hauling gear, or just enjoying the sound of a healthy V8, this package helps the truck feel sharper and more alive behind the wheel.
S&B Cold Air Intake for Improved Breathing
Helping the Coyote engine breathe easier is the job of the S&B Cold Air Intake included in this package. The factory intake works well for everyday driving, but it still limits airflow compared to a performance oriented design. S&B replaces the restrictive stock components with a high flow intake tube, a sealed air box, and a large reusable oiled cotton filter that allows a greater volume of air to reach the engine. More airflow means the engine can produce stronger horsepower and torque while also responding quicker when you press the accelerator. The oiled filter captures dirt effectively while maintaining excellent airflow, and it can be cleaned and reused for years of service. S&B also uses durable silicone couplers and a sealed intake layout that helps keep hot engine bay air away from the filter. The end result is an intake system that supports performance while maintaining the reliability you expect from your truck.
SCT BDX Tuner with 5-Star Custom Tunes
To take full advantage of the improved airflow, this package includes the SCT BDX handheld tuner loaded with custom calibrations from 5 Star Tuning. The device plugs directly into the truck’s OBD-II port and allows you to upload performance tunes that refine how the engine and transmission operate. These custom tunes adjust things like ignition timing, fuel delivery, throttle response, and shift behavior so the 5.0L can make better use of the additional air coming through the intake system. The result is stronger acceleration and smoother power delivery that you can feel every time you drive. The BDX is also a useful tool for keeping an eye on your truck’s health. It can display live engine data, read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, and store your factory tune so you can return the truck to stock if needed. When paired with the S&B intake, the tuning ties everything together and transforms the overall driving experience of your F150.

Warranty vs. Non-Warranty Tune Note: there is no difference in function, horsepower, or torque between Warrantied Custom Tunes and Non-Warrantied Custom Tunes. The only difference between the two, whatsoever, is that Warrantied Tunes will have less parameters (i.e. tire size, gear ratio, etc) open to end-user adjustment.
Off-Road Exhaust Systems: 5-Star can no longer provide custom tuning for off-road exhaust systems that delete catalytic converters. 5-Star can only tune for catted exhaust systems. However, 5-Star WILL NOT disable your rear oxygen sensors, which may result in a check engine light.
