On another note, livernois threads have vanished from the board. I guess sct is the new thing. I would like to know how certain tuners are getting more hp/tq than livernois while still claiming towing capability. Livernois has been THE ecoboost tuner for a while. Are the tuners that are leading the numbers game tuning on the edge of safety?
It's only a matter of time before some purchases multiple tunes from several vendors and then does back to back tests at the strip to see who is top dog...at least in the 1/4.

And yes everyone is jumping on The SCT train but from what I have read the hardware and programming still has a lot of bugs to work out. And SCT's preloaded tunes have not had rave reviews. 5 Stars tunes are sounding positive though and because he uses SCT platform he will sell many. As for me I am just as happy with the MyCal device. Suits my needs

1. Are you able to store the tunes Livernois gives you in your computer to load at anytime like the SCT custom tunes or do you have to email LMS for them to send another tune every time you want to change the tune that is on your tuner? I am kinda confused on how that works so if you can explain in more detail on how it works then that would be great.
2. What is the towing weight limit on the 87/93 performance tunes? I know that Superchips was 3,000 when I had it, but I am not sure about the Livernois.
3. Does the tuner you get from LMS allow you to store another tuning companies tune in the device like the SCT or is it strictly LMS tunes?
4. Can you tell Livernois to customize the tune for you like adjusting shift points, more psi from the turbos, and such like the other custom tuners allow or is it as is with no customization?
Thanks in advance for the quick response.

After driving the Superships, SCT, Livernois, and 5 Star I can honestly say the one thing that dramatically sets them apart is their shifting, when and how they lock up the torque converter, and how well they configured the drive by wire system for better throttle response. Those are things that hp and torque numbers won't tell you, and will matter the most the 99.9% of the time you are not at the track.
And have enough input to dog them but now you don't have simple answers to these questions? Interesting....

I never said I owned the Livernois before, a friend of mine did as I have said in everyone of my comparison posts. I would call and ask him but he is on an offshore oil rig ATM, and is stuck their for another 2 months.

Who you trying to fool Al? You more than know all the answers to these questions very well. Instigating is all you are doing. You followed the other Livernois thread for a long time and you and I had some differences of opinion as well as you and plenty of others. So since you already know all the answers to your own questions above you are obviously attempting to deter people from buying this tune again! Don't anyone believe otherwise. He is stirring the pot.
