I know it's been long overdue, & quite some time has passed since that vendor made mention of it's offering.....
But last convo I had with them, that product offering was still being worked on.
So contrary to various posts about it being "scrapped" or "dead" truth is...... those people don't know that for a fact.
However, it goes w/o saying that it's not currently available either.....
Therefore, you and others would be best served by drawing your own conclusions, or placing your own inquiries, just as any of you would if inquiring of other vendors and what products, or product potential is in the proverbial pipeline.
To arbitrarily state, w/o knowing definitively a product has been shelved, is irresponsible at best.

you are correct in that, and I'm not saying anthing negative about LMS at all for the most part my 13 SHO runs great on their tune. I'm sure they're plenty busy researching and modding more commonly modded cars than a relative few EB vehicles, and even fewer SHO's. That being said I never wanted to bother with adding meth to my car. To me the time, trouble and cost is not worth the benefits and I know I could install a meth kit myself. I plumbed up a wet NX NOS kit on my 98 Stang with a 03 Cobra motor before no problem. But to quote LMS below there is no defenitive answer on when the XV1 will be available, and they have said we're working on it for months then say it will require meth. Not exactly the solution I personally was looking fo in search of a little more power. I just want my SHO to hold boost in the higher rpms. If it's just a fuel problem then I guess I'll wait for larger injectors to be invented, or 4DHtrd to invent a fuel system that works with zero problems
I don't personally have time or knowledge to contribute to figuring all of the EB tunning issues out, but I can wrench with the the best of them. Give me a parts list and a knowledegable tuner and I'm set but meth is not a route I care about. I'd rather change my fuel pumps, injectors, adjust my tune and go. Then maybe I can use my 3 bar MAP !?
All that being said I don't see how putting in my 3bar MAP and having LMS adjusting my tune for it would do anything, so I'm curious as to why the Unleased guys feel the need to run one ? Are their tunes higher boost (seems to be from what I read), if so they have to make more power right, that being said they must have figured something out to address the fuel delivery that LMS hasn't ? I understand custome loyalty but I'm not driving from Houston TX to LMS to get a dyno tune and I'm not down with leaving what should be free power (from a tune adjustment) on the table.
How do I confirm what tune I have in my '13 with the various LMS Stage tunes ? I thought Anthony told me I have a stage 3 and he said that was the equivelent of a stage 4 in the 2010-2012 models ? Myabe I'm leaving something on the table already but I have concerns about my FRP already due to occasional hesitations.
Unfortunately as to the release of XV1, it is going to require more ancillaries than originally thought. With the unique issues that have come to light with the cold weather, it has shown that we are at the limit of safe fuel delivery with our performance tunes already. Because of this, Xv1 will require methanol injection to utilize. We are working on other avenues for this to be able to be achieved without the use of methanol, but those are a long way off unfortunately. I understand the want and the frustration for the delay, but we would rather release XV-1 after its been complete and safe. One thing I am proud to say about our company is we will not just rush a tune out to the public without going over it with a fine tooth comb and test and retest to make sure it gets the most power out of the vehicle, yet still be 100% safe! It will require meth for the Explorer Sport, and the Taurus SHO and related vehicles (Flex, MKS, MKT). As for the F150, it is still in development, but as stated before, is only going to be released when perfect. I know it is frustrating, but please be patient. We just want to get everyone the best tune available, anything less would be a disservice to our customers.
