at this point the best thing Livernois can do is stay far away from this thread and hope it eventually fades away .they are definitely not doing themselves any good with their responses.

nope we should keep bumping this so that everyone knows

I'm at the restaurant meeting my daughter and brother for brunch and have a hundred miles on the car now. It runs absolutely perfect. Though the power might be down a bit it was worth it to get it out of LMS.

Palm Beach Dyno or Lund would have it running perfect and with more power just saying zing

The car runs great starts, idles, shifts excellent. But LMS put the larger pulley on to try and fix drivability. According to the Boost/vacuum gauge, is makes a maximum of 6psi. Almost 1/2 of what it did when I first got it. So I know there is a good deal more oompf with a smaller pulley and 93. I won't put headers on it. But the acceleration curve is really good. I'm thinking of Milan next week.

He did say the best thing 'Livernois' could do.....

Lidio is just as good. Been in the game a long time

I'll second that Lidio is just as good. He's been around along time. The car would make a lot more power if the boost was turned up, but at 6psi, it's making right about what it should.

3.3 pulley is not making 6psi lol. Makes about 10psi
3.1 makes 12 psi at sea level

each .1 increase or decrease gains or losing .7 psi.

Nice try bra

Op mentioned he is making 6psi. Not sure what pulley he has on, but he said 6psi, and at that amount of boost the power is about right.

The boost gauge went 1/2 way to the 10 at most 6 at maximum boost using the stock gauge. I do have the 3.3 pulley.

I’m running the same livernois blower and I had the 3.3 on and currently have the 3.1 on. The 3.3 was boosting about 10psi and the 3.1 is around 11.
Also, I dropped the livernois tune after about a month. It was rough and the car ran extremely rich. I currently have headers, 3.1 pulley, and the stock intake. I am tuned for 93 and I had 609whp. The tuner (Lund) commented that my stock airbox was really limiting.

I’ve been following your story for a while now since I had bought the same blower just a few months ago, and I’m glad to hear it’s running better.

Lidio says with the 3.1 pulley, 93 and headers he guessed about 600. He emailed me saying I could put the 3.1 on with 93 octane and likely not need a new tune. Just stop by his place and just check to make sure the AFR numbers were ok. The car runs good now and I'm looking at Milan on Wednesday to see what times I can run. The car doesn't have the torque or hp of my 11 roush, but drives nice.

Regardless of outcome, LMS is now out on my list of possibilities for FI in the future. I don't think we'll ever know EXACTLY what happened, but based on the last 2 pages of posts I've made up my mind about them.

Ditto. Currently shopping for a blower setup for my '17..

Their unprofessional responses at the end of the thread seal the deal for me. Scratched off the list.

I called Magnuson and they told me the 3.3 makes 6 psi on the coyote and the 3.1 makes 8 psi. I ordered the 3.1 and will see what difference it makes. Once it comes in I will install and have Lidio from Alternative Auto tweak the tune with 93 octane. Now I am getting how LMS made so much power on the original setup with only 6 psi. As Lidio said, "the tune is very aggressive". Some cars might be OK with it, others not so much. I hope LMS does the right thing and compensate me for this issue.
Magnuson makes pulleys from 3.90" all the way down to 2.80" in diameter. The diameter is printed on the outside of the pulley facing the front of the car. Swap looks incredibly easy.
