I plan a dyno session when the cutout is ready to install.  pulls as is with v8, pulls with cutout on and closed, and pulls with cutout on and open.   If the new CAI be ing fabbed is ready we'll do that too comparing it to no filter box so that only the new piping design is the variable.

Nice.

Received tune update today. Installed 3 bar first, then tune. Fired car up with no codes or problems.

Except, and I occasionally got this before, upon completion of loading tune, I got cross traffic fault, and blind spot system fault on display. Again, these codes came in a while back so Im not sure if related to the tune itself but shouldn't be.

Also, I was having several issues with car. I found when installing 3 bar, I had apparently forgot to reconnect a sensor thats located in front of manifold. Probably caused bunch of errors. SO I owe LMS an apology for insinuating a possible issue with their tune. Not saying the missed sensor was definitely the problem or not, but I indeed missed  something. SO owning up and taking responsibility for my failure in this.

Apologies to LMS if you reading this.
The cross traffic and blind spot error is normal, at least for me. Once you power cycle off and on once you are done installing the tune it should go away.

Right. It comes in intermittently but always clears once car is cycled. Yet both systems function normally even when faults SHO!

Have you talked with Livernois about adjusting your tune to get the most out of your cut-outs?
Very interested to hear if they will work with you as my just bypass doing any catback exhaust work and run right to the cut-outs.

I sent Dan, Anthony, and Brandon an email asking about this potential issue.... Reply pending.

my V7 2 bar (79* outside temp 3/4 tank of gas)
2013 SHO Taurus with performance package 0-140. Tune only by Livernois Motorsports.

my V8 3 bar (57* outside temp 1/2 tank of gas)
2013 SHO 0-140 pull with Livernois Version 8 tune

Run videos these side by side and they seem identical but with the V8 tune my SHO sounds, and feels more powerful still, and gas mileage is better. There may be other variables, but there was not one other change to the car.
2013 PP SHO LMS 93V10 tune, 170* T stat, 3bar, K&N drop in, plugs re-gapped, 4in exhaust tips.
UPDATE - 130K miles =blown engine. Unleashed tune and EBPP upgrade turbo billet wheels / Turbo Smart WGA's on a bran new long block. Let's get this SHO on the road !

someone call me crazy but in running those side by side my V7 pull seemed faster 0-140 and it was warmer outside and had 1/4 more gas weight. ??

Different shift points?  There's also that weird sound like chickens underhood at the end of the videos.  Begins about 10 mph earlier on the V8.  Can't see the tach on the V7 run.

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 don't know about chickens lol, but it seems like I may be missing some weatherstripping or something in my drivers door. It's wind noise :)

I had her our to the track tonight and I believe that I can state that the V8 tune is a bit stronger than the old tune (1st gen) old time 12.802 new best time 12.737. She ran several 12.7s tonight. And my 60 foot times weren't stellar either (best on the night was 1.874). Traction was a serious issue tonight. Trap speed was up from last year also at 107.8mph to 109.52mph. No matter how hard I tried last year I couldn't break 12.7. Everything else on the car is the same and also weather conditions were close to my best time last year. Temp around 55F RH 62% same track as last time. So it looks like the V8 tune is a keeper, at least for me ;)
