Hi everyone, My name is Will and I have a 2013 white SHO. Currently stock except for a catback exaust done by the previous owner, but I am hoping to tune it up over the next couple of months.

Thanks! I'm going to have plenty of questions I'm sure, I'm trying to catch up on what's been covered so I'm not asking redundant questions :)

I have heard a lot about Livernois with the Ecoboost engines, and they are pretty close to me. Is the consensus that LMS is good or not necessarily?

Consensus is you'd be better off pouring 5 gallons of gasoline on your car and tossing a match on it than using Livernois.

I didn't have any issues with them on my 2011, but nothing but problems when I upgraded to a 2015. Gearhead or AJP Turbo or leave it stock would all be better than using LMS.

I would not let LMS tune my lawnmower.  AJPTurbo or GH is where I would go, if I were you.

If you want an auto octane tune. Gear Head. They have great customer service.

Unleashed does great work and has great customer service.

AJP Turbo is great but he takes a little more time than the other guys to get the tune done as he has a day job.
