Livernois Tune, Is It As Good As They Say?

[brucelinc]

I guess I am going to switch to their E85 tune, even though our E85 is only 50% ethanol until around mid-May.

I am running their V11 93 performance tune with sport pedal. I have an auto. I am very happy with it. In regular drive mode, it rips second gear, sometime too much and hits the rev limited (usually when cold outside), then chirps third gear.

I did not dyno or run it at a track, but there is a nice difference. Free tunes for life, they can change shift points and how hard it shifts. Support has been wonderful, tunes easy to get.
I am happy with their product and service.

I'm running just a pmas, exhaust and their e85 tune and it feels like a completely different car. Tires want to break loose constantly lol.

Mods in my sig. Same sentiment.

Get the tune and tuner from Livernois Motorsports. If you check out my dyno tune before and after they installed the supercharger you'll see that the tune made 398 ft/lbs torque and 385 HP. This was with their 93 octane tune. Massive torque compared to the stock tune which is not listed. But, if you check their other dyno on the videos you will see that auto, like mine stock make about 350 ft/lbs torque. This was with no other mods.

If later you mod the car further, Livernois will change your tune for no charge even if you didn't buy the parts from them. If later you get another Ford product, they will, for no cost currently, re-flash the tuner for use on that car. The tuner on my 2015 Mustang GT is actually the one I bought for my Explorer.

Here is the dyno. Note that the blue tune is actually the Livernois V11 93 octane tune. On an auto the baseline stock is likelt 350 or less. I really felt the torque difference in the lower RPMs from stock.

Ive been interested in the Livernois tune for some time now, so thanks for posting your dyno!

Regarding the before graph, did you have any other mods other than the tune?

The torque figure looks great, and higher than most of the other stock+tune only dynos I have seen. As a result, the peak power comes in a bit lower at 6000, compared to the more typical 6500ish like the FP power packs and other tuners.

I am curious to know how bringing in the torque lower in the powerband (and more of it) affects traction.

 

[GreenS550]

The car had a lot of lower torque compared to the stock tune. Traction became an issue, but the power band was awesome. I immediately knew the car could lower the 1/4 mile et by 1/2 second. I know this because the 0-60 time on track apps was in the lower 4 second range with the tires I had. One of the other members I know with exactly the same car and gear did 12.40 with LMS tune only and DRs. My car has no other mods. Exhaust is stock as well as induction. Well, now it has the SC.

I’ve been thinking about getting the LMS flex tune for a while now. Car is stock minus cat back. Probably make a few passes at the local 1/8 mile track prior.

You plug it in, upload the tune, then leave the tuner in your garage. Who cares what it looks like?

people who use it to datalog and monitor their vehicles. neither of which you can do with livernois or am i wrong about that?

Thought livernois tunes were so good you don't need datalogs.. or so I've read.

im sure its a great tune, i like the option to datalog..and not have a programmer that needs a serious upgrade..

 

[brucelinc]

I also loaded their E85 Flex tune. As everyone knows, launching manual cars is tricky at best....very easy break the tires loose in first gear and at 1-2 shift. There is definitely more power with the tune but I am losing most of it to wheelspin.

It is still cold here and there is still salt residue on the roads from the last snowstorm so hopefully traction will be better when I get to the track.
