Default Mpt or livernois

Well i must say that the livernois tune has been fun but the delays of the x1v and the soft 3rd to 4th gear shift fix that is never going to happen has made me want to jump ship.

My ? Is who else has done this.

Drive ability is great. No hiccups or issues with mine at all. It is also highly advised that you do datalogging (MPT will send you all instructions and configuration file to monitor everything) and then send it back to them. They will then make necessary adjustments or changes based on those logs and any other input that you provide them.

You also get free updates as their improve and modify their existing tunes they have already.

Only time mine is super touchy is when I first crank my truck at 3 am to go to work. I just push the T/H button for super smooth shifting untill my truck warms up. Then I am back to enjoying the 93 perf tune with Race tranny tune.

Other than that I love it - mid range pulls like a modded diesel all the way to 130

Joey and I data logged mine 2 weeks ago and I sent the files to Mpt and they said I was good to go. - didn't need to change anything UNLESS I wanted to.

Switched here too. The only downside was having to buy a SCT device on top of the switch and having to own two different tuning devices.

I really like how the MPT tune runs after it settled down and did its learning thing. at first it shifted a lot like the LMS 3rd gear light throttle, but it quickly settled and drives like a stock truck until you mash the skinny, it really wakes up and the torque in the 2-4k range is awesome, best of any tune yet. I also like the throttle tip in as the whole peddle is used and not super sensative, makes it easy to drive and take off at any time, which also gets rid of the engine trying to bump and surge in light throttle situations, if the throttle is too sensative the truck struggles with deciding how much to crack the throttle and does some gooft stuff, especially with a trailer behind it.

I am running the 91 perf with street shifting and its pretty spot on for me.

I just wish the LMS tuners didn't have to be unlocked for the next vehicle as it really kills resale on them, pay $600 for possibly the worst tuning device on the market as far as options (tunes were fine but too conservative for my taste) and barely break $200 on a resale because the next buyer has to repurchase from LMS..

Same boat as you. Not personal against them but after many revisions I never like how my truck shifted with the 87 tow tune. I am looking at MPT for tunes but am tempted to run the sct canned tunes for a bit. The canned tunes sound pretty safe.
