I have read everything and i still need help deciding between livernois, 5*, mpt, or unleashed! I want flexibility and drivability. Mostly I run 87 octane but sometime I run 91. HELP!!!! I road in a livernois tuned truck with 97 octane tune and it was impressive. I really love the firm shifting.

Livernois for a basic tuner is 600 bucks. A mpt with sct livewire is also 600 bucks. I would prefer the livewire but I want the best tune with the best results that's safe.

Also interested, I'd like to hear from people who have used both instead of the common "I have this and I love it" comments.

I think everyone should get the tuner they think meets their needs best. I want what I want, not something to take to the drag strip to squeeze out the last drop of horsepower and torque so I maybe easier to please. I want a few tunes including a tow tune which likely will stay on the truck all the time.

Of all the tuners available you don't hear much about the various types out there on this Forum. I have a Edge EvoHT Tuner coming in Tuesday for my Ecoboost so I should be able to report on that in a week or so.

Without doing the whole buy this cuz I love it....When I was checking out tunes I decided to go with the SCT so I had more options. The Livernois has the best times at the drag strip but they have their own tuner that only runs Livernois. SCT will run all of the other tunes, so you could have 5*, MPT, or unleashed.
It's pretty much going to be up to you in the end regardless because from what I've read on this forum all these companies make a great tune. It seems to me that 5* and Livernois are the most popular. I chose 5* and might check out MPT down the road. Hope this helps your decision making.

I don't think you could go wrong with Sct or Livernois. I have tried them both. I prefer Livernois. It seems like they are always trying to make there tunes better. I am running the 93v2 and like it a lot. I didn't base my decision on hardware because once it loaded on the truck it is going to stay on there. Good luck on your decision I am sure you will be happy with either one.

I'm leaning towards livernois at the moment.
