Default Livernois Tuned 5.0L F150

We recently had a 2011 5.0L F150 in the shop for a few mods and a tune.

We installed an AFE CAI, 4.10 ring and pinion, and custom dyno tuned the truck.

I was out of the office that day, so I didn't get video of it on the dyno, but a few of the guys here got some video of it on the street.

Unfortunately, we don't have baseline numbers because there was another car on the dyno and the customer needed it back quickly.

He did however go to the track after he got it back and was happy with the results. It ran 13.2 @ 107 mph.

Looks like it added some good power. I assume it has exhaust as well as its loud as @#$ !.

Sounds loud to me as well, but that was the stock exhaust.

Was this using an SCT tuner? Will you be selling email tunes?

Yes, this was an SCT tuner and we do offer email tunes. The tuning device and tune sells for $499.99 + shipping.

Thank you,

Rick

A tune and cai? 107 Mph. A 5000 pound truck (at the least). If my calculations are correct every gain in mph in quarter mile usally = 10 hp. A stock 5.0(in RC) form typically runs 95-96 mph stock. This would translate to roughly 100 hp to the crank with the addition of a tune and a cai? I would say et possible with slicks but mph does not add up unless there is a shot of NOS with the tune. I am really not trying to be a a** but it doesnt seem to add up for the amount of mods. Oh yea 4:10''s would not compensate for much of the mph gained. If this is an accurate report(by customer), this is a really detuned motor(from factory) or you did a fantastic job of unlocking the pcm and if so good job on tuning.

Some am I reading this correctly...stock exhaust, AFE intake and custom tune truck putting down 327hp runs a 13.2@107. Why doesn't the Livernois 93 oct ecoboost tune even crack 100 mph traps? So much for the idea of a tuned 5.0 screw vs tuned EB screw. Ecoboost apparently would get eaten alive.

I don't know what's going on with the 5.0 trucks. Most run mid/low 14's but others run low 13's. I don't get it. And the 107 mph @ 327 rwhp doesn't really add up either. My old Lightning trapped 102 mph @ 340 rwhp.

Furthermore, the Livernois tuned EB's are pulling 99 mph at 360 rwhp. Yea, it's heavier, but -8 mph at +30 rwhp with 500 extra lb doesn't add up either.
