Livernois tune review

[Livernois Motorsports]

So Livernois are you saying that people with certain strategies may have to wait a while to get their tune?

While the exception to the rule, yes. But this is no different than any other software company in terms of adding support. When you encounter a new strategy, it must be mapped out to ensure it is proper, and then the tune file created. To do it the right way means that extra time may be needed. Those that are already mapped out are in the normal 24-48 hour window that we normally do (although it is a holiday coming up here, so extra time would be needed). If there is a strategy that needs further testing because Ford changed logic, or some major calibration segments, then we go through and validate changes on our own car before sending out a file.

This is what we feel sets us apart from the community to ensure the car is as perfect as possible.

I'm not the one who came in swinging his internet dick posting a fuel table, bragging about how complex it is and challenging people to interpret it.

You are.

I was merely responding to your post. I said nothing about tuning an EcoBoost, which I do not do.

You also must not race much if you are bragging about times your car ran on a radial they discontinued close to 2 years ago.

By all means, carry on.

I was making a point about the tuning complexity. And was thanked in that post by a tuner! That pretty much sums it up. But I'll continue.

Well, I got two sets of those tires when they came out. And your right, I don't race much anymore. My growing family and car collection has taken my life past dropping 2k a weekend to make 5 passes. My 6 year old loves driving around in my 69 z28 that he calls bumblebee, and he's really likes the new mustang.

You bragged you "tune a 8sec faimont"

I asked the guy I quoted, not you and your fairmont, a honest question about actually tuning.

Finally pulled the trigger on the Livernois tune. Will probably be my only mod but it's probably the best one to have.

I'm interested in what you think of it. If you don't mind letting us know.

 

[2015-MUSTANG]

I will get it mid next week. I ll share my impressions.

I've been reading some of the v8 tune stuff. It sounds to me like you(livernois) are saying any tuner other than your my calibrator is doing a half ass tune. What magic are you able to do that others aren't? Can you expand on what parameters you have special access to and what other tuners can't? What kind of power are you getting with your tune and exhaust,intake?

 

[Anthony]

I don't think they've said that at all. They just are not new to the Ecoboost engine family. They just didn't jump into it recently like others have since it was installed in the mustang. Livernois has been at the forefront of ecoboost tuning and engine developments since 2010 when the engine was introduced to the public.

I read in one of their (Livernois) posts there was 16,000 parameters they had to look at and/or adjust before a tune was validated to be sold.

Are you asking about 5.0 numbers or ecobooost numbers?

 

[Apwrx]

You're a big livernois supporter nothing wrong with that.Iam not looking through the same glasses though so as a general from the outside consumer,what ive read comes across that way. With that I was curious on the differences. As far as power numbers iam interested in Eco. I've already seen the v8 numbers.

Hopefully they'll be some reviews and updated numbers now that most the public can actually get the tune. It's been a long time since the wr setting Eco video to not have a single consumer review...

We have not said that at all.

What we are saying is that we are the most familiar with the platform as a whole. We have done extensive R&D with OEM's, and we share and compare notes on many things. Hence the reason why we had the S550 cars tuned before anyone else, even though we did not get our car early! We actually got our 2.3L off of a dealer's lot weeks after it was released to the general public. Same with the Coyote.

We share so much that we have actually been able to engineer our own tuning software specifically for the Ford, LS , LT and most Mopar platforms. Because most all other tuners all use the same handful of tuning companies, they all share the same limited access to the ECU.

We actually have access to upwards of 20,000 tables (On the EB line of vehicles).
This is the reason why we get the gains that we do out of the vehicles that we tune using our hardware.

And this isn't only local to the EB or even Ford vehicles. We were the first to tune the C7. We have set several Mopar and GM records with our own software! So we aren't talking down about anyone, we are simply highlighting our UNIQUE tuning capabilities.

Any sound clips of the thunderstorm exhaust kits?

I will have a video produced and uploaded today! Sorry for the delay, but with all of the engineering and manufacturing that we are doing the car is quite often in pieces or being used on the dyno for validation or more R&D.

You guys really need to take it down about 2 notches in the huckstering department. We are all well aware of your engineering and manufacturing background as you have reminded us almost daily.

A little less shameless self-promotion may help your cause over here...which I presume is to sell parts.

You can't be aware of products that we are currently working on and have yet to release

I am looking forward to seeing the video.

However, $2,400 for a catted turbo back kit is high. I like the sound of both the Ultimate Racing kit and RIP Tuning kit. Because I like the sound of them I'll use them as an example. Catted turbo back kit from them range between $1,400 to $1,500.

Livernois, what would you say to a customer who is trying to figure out why your kit is $900 higher than a competitor?
