It went from maxxed out 22mph to 35mph in a blink. The roar was startling and I backed off the pedal in surprise. I'm not sure tuners can access it.)

Yep, that's one of the things the 5 star tune does is lower the "floored delay" time so you get that power sooner. That's really where the increased HP claims come from in the case of the V10.

If they can do the fuel remap and I can get my 24.1 to do it again so I can see if it really has value to me, I'll buy the 5 star.
Change that 61 seconds to a second(I mean if you're flooring it you've already made your commitment to warp drive).
But I don't want the 90 percent of throttle within the first 10percent of pedal travel I think they do. That's voodoo pants-seat, not performance.
I want the remap of the fuel and injectors and the timing and throttle body without the required engine load to activate it.
I'll ask them.

Sorry... that picture didn't come out as planned. 
It showed that he is a "left-coaster".

People sure do take threads down a crooked path when they have nothing to say.

I think I learned that I don't need a 5 star tune; and I should settle for the redolence of Guinea pigs

I have a 2015 Axis with the 5 Spd and got the 5 Star tune on a group purchase for a little over $400 a couple of years ago. Biggest bonus was shift points.
It rarely downshifts now and only to 4th, rather than 3rd when it does. It may be
just "seat of the pants", but I'll take it, driving is much better with it on my RV.

Please pardon my mechanical ignorance. But what the hell is a 5 star tuner and what is it supposed to do?

Its a device you plug into the RV (or a car) that changes the engine computer programming to alter the calibration (timing, fuel, etc.).

For most folks s that’s a good choice. I purchased it for my class A with the 5 speed transmission a few years ago and the only thing I was interested in was changing the shift points. It was helpful but I’d not bother with it again. Especially with the 6 speed which is a much better match to the need.

Bob, remember when the NYS troopers had those old midnight blue late 60's vintage Fury's with the 440 big blocks? From a dead stop all they did was suck a lot or air through the carb and eventually got out of their own way. BUT they were built for top end performance and those darn cars would cruise along at 140 MPH without a problem! I swear if you were in a group that got arrested 4 went in the back seat and 6 went in the trunk! They were huge cars!
