Just did another run now that it has cooled off a bit (still 70 outside).
In 4WD HI:
She ran 14.33 at 95MPH
0-60 was 5.6 seconds
I think this is actually pretty good with the heaviest possible f150 rolling on stock 20's with 34" tires wrapped around em. I'd like to see another truck running 34" LT tires beat that time...
Not even running methanol yet (its installed though
)

Want the "performance" file from my SCT? Has all the specs. Better yet, I'll take a picture of the screen next time (can proabably do a run tonight)
Zmoy, thanks! Extremely helpful. This gives me an idea of what my truck could run with my pirellis back on. Now that we have apples to apples, it looks like the two tunes were close with Livernois coming out ahead - barely.
A few things, I am running 91 Octane... is yours the 93v2 tune? Did you take off the tailgate, air down tires, etc... in prep for the 1/4 mile?
OH! Also... I paid $700 for the same kit Livernois sells. Get it directly from Alkycontrol.com. Livernois buys the kit, makes a single bracket for the resevoir and marks it up $500. This is Livernois' business model in general - slaps their name on a product that someone else makes and charges an absurd amount.

I am aware of alky control, but I didn't want to spend that much money either. So, I went with one of the 50/50 mixture guys out there. I actually lost 1/10 on the quarter and one mph as well. Livernois does not want to offer tuning help since I did not buy thier kit. Livernois claims like 27 rwhp with same tune and their meth kit. I believe I can replicate that if I only get the right help on the nozzle flow rate.

That is exactly my problem too. It has to be dialed in perfectly and will actually make you slower if your not spraying the right amount. This is why I am not using my meth injection right now until Shawn is back in town and can help me. When we get things dialed in, hopefully I can help you out.
On to the tunes... mine ran 14.33 last night on 91 octane and you have run 14.17 on Livernois 93v2. That is pretty close peeps
. Not to mention I am running on California gas which according to Shawn is much lower quality and he can tune MUCH more aggressively with the better gas offered in most other states.
I have no reason to lie to you people, I do not work for SoCal - I just want to spread the word when I get my hands on a great product. I did the same with Unleashed and everyone that purchased said their expectations were met or exceeded. But, for those of you that insist on proof, I ran tonight at 14.49 with 80 degree air temps (it got 100+ today). My 0-60 was 5.59. Pics below...

The picture says 87 but I hadn't started driving yet - air temp made its way down to 80 after I started driving. Hopefully yall believe my 14.33 now.

So all these "facts" and basing 1/4 mile times using torque app?? I think it's OK if you are just using it as a comparison between your newly bought tunes, but it is a LONG ways from accurate enough to compare it to official times people have ran at the track. I love seeing new tuners getting into the ecoboost game because it means more gains for the consumer, but let's not put the cart before the horse.

Toque App uses GPS and is not accurate because of it. I've never used the app, does it even use vehicle data at all? Anyways, the SCT is accurate...
