Livernois Motorsports EcoBoost F150 Tuning
Since we are now a sponsor, I wanted to start a thread with some info and videos.
In a previous thread, it was mentioned that we don't do the R&D other companies do, and that couldn't be further from the truth. We also work closely with the OEM's via our parent company Livernois Vehicle Development (See Photos here)
When the EcoBoost was introduced in the Taurus in 2010 we purchased a Taurus SHO and Flex EcoBoost. These were both for testing and development and have had a ton of hard street miles and track passes since. At the time, we had (2) 2WD dynos and since these cars are AWD, we purchased an AWD dyno.
All of our tunes have been developed in-house on our chassis dynos or the track and proven on the street using our Taurus SHO and EcoBoost Flex shop vehicles.
To my knowledge, we’ve tuned more EcoBoost (SHO/MKS, Flex/MKT) vehicles than anyone in the country (over 350) and have had zero failures of any kind. We also claim the world's quickest Gen IV SHO, a customer's vehicle which runs 12.13 @ 117 mph. Our SHO with only our custom tune and Corsa exhaust has been a best of 12.69 @ 107 mph and our Flex with only our custom tune has been a best of 13.3 @ 103 mph.
Here is a video of our car and some customer cars at the track.
Everything we learned from these vehicles was used in the development of the truck tune. We purchased an EcoBoost F150 as soon as they were available and started working on it immediately. The computer threw a curve at us, but once it was figured out the tuning part was "easy". To date we have over 100 dyno pulls and a lot of street miles logging our own shop truck. Once the track opens in April, we will make passes in stock from and tuned.
Peak gains with our 93 octane tune and no other mods were 69 RWHP and 88 RWTQ. Notice though up top, gains are much more. (I left the cursor on the graph so you can see the gains. Around 104 RWHP / 114 RWTQ).
The 87 Octane Dyno Graph cam be seen below:
Some customers asked why it lost power down low, but the run was actually started later and it may have appeared to have lost power, but I can assure you, it did not. There is another 87 octane graph below to show this.

We look forward to working with the members of this great site!

Let me know when your webupdater is fully functional so I can buy this. I'd also like to help you guys refine your tow tunes for high heat high weight, las Vegas summer with a 10,000lb load

If you load the 93 octane tune, can you run it all time or is it a tune you would only load on the weekends to have a little fun? Would it do damage to your engine if you use this tune for daily driving?

Ordered mine today. I ordered the 93 since I run that fuel half the year here in Texas. It will stay in there most of the time. If I'm towing more than the 6K boat to the lake a few miles away I will put the stock tune back in it.
