Tuning Questions Who's the best for s550 There's too many to choose from

[Blazer707@TBR]

Name some.


They got anything for the Livernois ecoboost mustang yet?


Tune only numbers were well below Livernois tune only numbers.

Lund e85,jlt and cat back (not positive on cb) tune, wasn't impressive at all.


Can you give me some goals? Say 5 people with different performace goals.

Let me see,

I don't want the most power you can get. Leave 20 hp off.

I want a fuel mileage tune ( the stupidest shit I've ever heard, if you know anything about tuning)

I want a lope tune ( 2nd stupidest shit ive heard, please make my car misfire! )

Only tune my car to 12.4afr, I want it safe.

Stickers on cars don't always mean they are actually running the parts. For the life of me I can't remember seeing any upr parts on bill gliddens car. But he sure got the $300 from them for every win!

Livernois builds some nice motors and is one of the best in the business. But I've only seen maybe 2 people post up anything about there tunes.

well once YDBT gets a hold of a s550 i'll definitely be going with him. period.

Do you think YDBT will be offering remote tunes for the data logs from my dyno app or virtual dragstrip testing like other performance shops that have access to a dyno and have a guy that buys his tunes from a guy that gets his from the company that writes them?

Will YBDT be posting dyno and track test videos to back up their claims? Because everyone knows that dyno data can't be manipulated or YouTune videos edited.

I haven't taken delivery of my 2015 yet but the information that I have from my 2011 with its custom canned remote dyno tune and data logs should work shouldn't it?!? It is the same motor after all and Ford probably hasn't changed much other than the headlights and rear bumper cover on this new model have they?

Edit: Just picked up my car this afternoon and was able to flash the tune from my 2011 to it and make a pass at the track before it closed tonight

I'll try to be politically correct as I like Dan Millen a lot and I do business with Livernois. Dan has never been one to talk smack about other tuning houses and I respect him a lot.

When Rick LeBlanc (still a friend of mine) handled the social media for Livernois, he never talked smack about other tuning houses, especially those that are at the top of the game, and part of the same tuning circle.

I would suggest you follow their lead If your going to be the face of the company out here.

But, just to touch a few of your points. Tune ecoboost #'s?

427/327 from Livernois / 410/316 from Lunds. Very small difference there especially when you can have variance from car to car, and dyno to dyno. I wouldn't call that "well below". Especially considering these cars are still only a few months old. This is a long game.

And looking at the long game on the coyote platform. On the factory pcm, lund has tuned the 2nd quickest car which isa turbo coyote and one of only 2 7 second factory pcm cars, the quickest vortech powered coyote, the quickest procharged coyote, the quickest kb powered coyote, the quickest whippled coyote.

In the NMRA coyote modified class. We ran the quickest and fastest pass this year lund tuned on the factory pcm. The only cars within .5 tenths of our times were all motec / fast / aftermarket ecu systems.

Lund also has the quickest coyote in the standing mile as well.

This is what we know from the last 4 years of coyote tuning.

As far as tuning the coyote in the 2015. Not much will change there either. Right now, most cars are dyno queens, most tracks around are closed for the year except the warm climate tracks.

We will see where things fall over the next year. It's very very early in the game.

Probably shouldn't forget to mention the coyote cousin, the Shelby, In which lund has tuned the quickest 5.8 and 5.4 Shelby's in the country, along with the quickest Shelby in the standing mile as well.

I would say Lund has done more than enough to be considered impressive.

Good info but can you elaborate on the lope tune hurting motors ? Is it really a intentional misfire as others have stated?

On here.......... Do a web search.

Brainwashing with sct software is rampant. It works, after you update it after you get it, if it downloads the first time. Plenty to read about the problems updating it. I have one! Was problematic from the start. Bama could NOT get rid of the stumbles, no matter how many "logs" I sent. I can't sell it for $100! It's unlocked, first person to pm me gets it for free. How's that? Locally I couldn't give it away. I'll try here now.

Took that car to Livernois, made more power and didn't stumble under part throttle.

Currently a good friend of mine. Others on here talk, I respond of my own free will. There are guys on here that bible thump Lund and others, I can't pledge for livernois? With Dyno numbers? Videos?


I'm not the face of anything, member "livernois Motorsports" is an employee and speaks for them directly. I am not, nor have I ever been an employee of livernois


Was i speaking of the ecoboost? No, although I didn't state it, my fault. I was referring to 5.0. But at the track, livernois has "others" covered with their ecoboost. I think the "mod" list was a little longer on the non Livernois ecoboost car. Hp/tq on the Eco cars is close. Track times are not. There were PLENTY of jabs thrown at Livernois..... Didn't see you in there defending or being politically correct. Maybe you missed it?

Lund is king of the 5.0 right now, without a doubt.

Thank you for answering a question I asked the other guy, I'm sure he appreciates it, but I was looking for him to respond with what he knows, since he made the statement.

Again. I never said they weren't fast, I asked the other guy, but what your doing right now, standing up for Lund, although your not an employee, is the same thing I'm trying to do for livernois, I'm not a polished spokesman, as you are, I'm a paying customer. Is every car you own, daily drivers included, tuner by ken b? Paid retail price? I know if they are, you didn't pay full price. I payed to have 3 of my current cars tuned by livernois.

And since CS was brought up, you guys are badass and I've watched since the beginning, I was friends with rob denewith before he passed, and he had his hands in the coyote stock plans. And CS is really the only thing keeping nmra alive imo.

I've met you, talked to you at LENGTH, years ago, at quite a few nmra races, before you was beefcake, when you were terry reeves. Didn't doc Meyer give you that nick name?

You listed your track resume...... Can I list livernois. Without being "called out"

PM coming your way, send me your paypal and I'll gladly give you $100 for an unlocked X4.

And I will respond to the request for more info concerning my post, currently watching Green Bay win.

We really need reviews good or bad of all tuners and no one should be biased one way or the other unless they personally had a bad tune or the car ran slow etc. All it does is hurt future business for others who want to get a tune. I wish someone would comment on the lope tune as I do not even want one after reading about them but have no personal experience with them. Both guys have tuned for a long time, so far livernois put up some of the best numbers, is it a mustang dyno does it read high or low who knows , as far as your car Antjony how does it drive etc. rev auto put up some great numbers and backed it up with track times 11.77 at 117 with a tune and cold air big and littles, stock exhaust which is pretty impressive.

 

[Blazer707@TBR]

I think more people should be concerned about how a car drives and what it does at the track instead of what numbers it puts down on a dyno.

And no the lope tune does not hurt anything.

No im on plenty of forums. No need to do a web search. I was correct 2 people with livernoise thats Ive heard of.

Of course the tune will be better then bama.

cam lope doesn't hurt anything, heck ford even offers it on the boss 302

sorry, just assumed from the posts you were a rep for livernois.

like I said, dan does a great job, and anything gm I/we need done, that's who I call.

as far as track times, like I said, the cars have only been out just over 2 months, and most tracks are closed now. long way to go in this game.

Anyone have experience with steeda?

 

[tj@steeda]

There are plenty that have experienced the Steeda tune!

Here is our dyno sheet for the 2015:

When we first dyno-tested our 2015 Mustang GT Performance Pack, it made 391.93 hp and 356.28 ft/lb/tq at the wheels. On that same stock car (93 octane), with solely a tune, we were able to squeeze out 409.99 hp and 366.74 ft/lb/tq at the wheels - an increase of 18 hp and 10 ft/lb/tq!

Best Regards,

TJ

Is there a time frame on when your I take and tune combo will be tested and become available? Or if you need a tester I could be your guy

Beefcake beat me to the post. When you see recent S197's(be it 5.0's or Shelby 5.4/5.8's) breaking some records chances are it's either tuned by JPC or Lund. Merely an observation.

You are being overly defensive of Livernois. I never bashed them for anything, yet you are demanding me to post proof for my post like I did.
