SoCal Tunes!!!!

Well guys I have tried just about every tune out there at some point for the EB. The SoCal tune is the real deal. I am currently running the 93-5H. This tune puts all the others to shame. It is a monster from top to bottom. The power is there all the time and the shifting is great. No searching for gears. Hit the gas and this thing is gone. I let my wife take my truck for a ride after she came back she couldn't believe how much better the truck runs and the drivability of it. She has an unbiased opinion that's why I let her take it for a drive to see what she would say. To wrap this all up I want to say that Shawn's customer service is unreal! I am a very hard person to please and he has done that and more! Also thanks to all the guys who helped Shawn get these tunes dialed in! Please stay posted for 1/4 mile times. If I can get this monster to hook I will beat my best 1/4 mile there is no doubt about it.

Also, not too sure dyno numbers would be the best route for deciding whether to buy one tune or another. Dynos are only good for the same truck on the same day for comparison purposes. You can have multiple results for the same truck going from dyno to dyno and from day to day.

Dont have dyno numbers for those. These tunes were developed on the road and with datalogging. The idea was to dial-in how the truck felt as well as making everything as optimal as possible for power. Didnt need a dyno.

Yeah, but one guy a couple of days ago blew us off because of a similar answer and slammed the door on the way out because dyno charts weren't posted within a few minutes of his asking. One less phone call for Shawn to answer. He's got to be busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

It's funny this forum has gone so far from wanting to see dyno charts and comparing them especially when SLOW was first posting his data. We all liked seeing what the trucks could do, regardless of all the nay say on well it don't count because of temp/DA/what I had for lunch/etc. We loved looking at numbers and disecting them or seeing how they compared to the stock tune runs. Was cool saying to people when they asked "oh you drive an v6?" "Ya and someone just put down 375/500 to the wheels with just a tune.." Now I have to say ya someone Ya I own a v6 and someone I have never met on an online forum said it was really fast.." lol
Some of us still like seeing a dyno run to see where it is really making power.

The dyno runs only tell part of the story. To me and others, the way it drives is more important than the fastest times. And that was my issue with LMS; they posted the fast times but it was only fun to drive with your foot in it. My 87 Socal is way more fun than the 91V10 from tip-in and on.

I'm not saying I'm ready to switch, but it will be interesting to see how Livernois responds. Glad to see some good competition here.
Is everyone using the 3015/SF3 instead of the Livewire/5015. Is the Liverwire tempermental?
