I look for many to run 100+ mph traps with this new tune when its released, not just one truck.
Joewee you just can't drive! LMAO! Just giving u a hard time! This new V10 feels promising.

I know we have posted on this in the past, but we definitely have no problem addressing it again. This was a customer's truck, not our shop truck. He went to the track on his own, and ran these numbers. Every mod done to the truck was listed, documented, and the truck was even videod performing this well. The customer is a PRO driver, went to one of the fastest tracks in the country, and was in incredibly good air. No nitrous, if it had, we would have pushed well past 103 MPH.

Some people dont give two ****s. Liver is a leading top tier company. You think they'd sly on some nitrous passes to be the fastest? That's some hometown backwoods racing ****, not top shop **** dude. Don't be mad you have a turd for a truck ;-)

I agree with Chris on this. Yes it would be nice to trap 103. BUT I want a tune that works period in all different situation. Good daily drive and raw power when I need it. That is why they have the best tunes out period. Hell like I said this V10 has it. But give them time and you can have it all a tune like the V10 that covers your butt in any situation and maybe just maybe a straight up race tune a track only tune a ***** to the wall tune. But for now the V10 is the best to date tune they have an I appreciate all the time and effort that they have put in for us. That is why u don't see any bad post about drivability issues like other tunes do. So keep up the faith with LMS they are producing the best tunes for these trucks and keeping ahead of the pack for us.

I don't know all that stuff about racing, and I'll probably never drag my truck down a strip. But, LMS woke up the truck like a beast, and drive ability is awesome. I'd rather wait till the next update is tested, proven, then released. I honestly can't afford to buy a new motor if this one blows from abuse. I bought the extended warranty, so it was hard to but the tuner in the first place. However, since LMS has a great reputation, and what I feel is great customer service, I went with it. I'm ready for the V10, but I'll wait for positive confirmation first.

You're right. I guess my truck is a turd but at least it's in the 98th percentile for Ecoboost F150s. Jcain you fail at business if you don't think that one video of that truck didn't increase livernois f150 tuner sales by hundreds. Im not saying they aren't top notch or top tier or whatever you think. I am saying that one truck put down 30-40 more hp than all others and that trucks times sold me on the tune. Maybe I need to drop this half ton and go back to 3/4 ton. Guess I've never really been happy power wise since I swapped to gas.

Where can I find a step by step on hooking up one of these tuners.. No BS, I have no clue but want to get a Livernois when I do make that plunge.

Mmwest-
Just plug the tuner into the port and follow the prompts. The paperwork says how you start- key off, radio off, auto lights off. Then it's just pushing buttons in the tuner and about 7 minutes later, haul ***!

I wanted to apologize to everyone, I just realized that we had skipped over the questions regarding the 91v10 tune. Simply put, Yes, there will be a 91 octane version, however the priority right now is to roll out the 93 first, take any feedback we receive, modify if need be (although so far, 99% of the feedback has been that we shoudl leave it as it is because it is great), and then start rolling out 91v10. Some strategy codes will be supported before others, but eventually, all will be supported just as v2 is today.

Please, keep the feedback, requests, and friendly competition coming. It is the only way we know what people expect, and would like from us.

Thank you,
Andy
