Just bought a new 2014 PP Dark Side SHO, coming from the V8 world, and have had some difficulty finding a straight answer regarding the gains of the LMS tunes.

What sort of dyno numbers, stock v. tuned, are being had with just the stage IV tune?

Some of my old cars...

Blue 2004 GTO with forged L92 + nitrous:
416 CI L92 GTO on 200 shot N20 goes 10.16!

2003 Cobra with 2.2 KB on Nuerburgring.

I gained 45 WHP with Livernois Stage 4+.  That is their most aggressive tune for 2010-2012 at the moment.  The curve on bottom is stock, the one on top is Stage 4+. The middle is Stage 4.

That is some really good power under the curve for the 4+.

What sort of longevity issues are there with the 4+?

Not any as far as I am aware of...I've been running the 4+ in my car for almost 2 1/2 years on a daily basis and have not had an issues because of the tune.

Welcome, congratulations, and post some pics of your new acquisition :)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I recently installed my tune on my 2012 MKS. Love it. No problems so far(I've got 8k miles). I've also had a 2011 SHO in the past that had stage 4, I bet the crap out of that car and never had a issue.


Soon to be fastest MKS on the planet!
Mods: Magnaflow exhaust with cut-outs, Ecoboost hot pipes with BOV, Injen intake, Livernois 4+ tune,LMS downpipes,NGK spark plugs, 170 thermostat, RK sport roof spoiler........lots more to come

I assume this tuner is what I would need and then contact LMS to have it unlocked and a new tune sent to me?

I wonder how the car will handle the stage IV+ and blasting down the autobahn consistently at 120mph?

I'm sure it will feel right at home.  If you are in Germany, I'm hoping LMS can unlock and tune remotely.  I know they will email you a link to your tunes but never heard if they need hands on to clear the old vehicle.  Did you check with them?
