I'm looking on switching from lms to torrie. I have a 2013 sho with an airaid cai, corsa catback, 170 tstat, and 3 bar map sensorsl. What gain should I look forward to getting??

Definitely the ability to have areas that you personally want tweaked a little adjusted to your liking.

Having the pleasure of dealing with both I can say you can't loose. Torrie is a great guy and he responds really quickly to requests. Almost too quickly lol. He has done wonders with my buddy's trailblazer ss. Customizing your tune on the fly is going to be your biggest plus with Torrie.

Unfortunately we don't all have the luxury of living close to LMS. It would be freaking awesome if they came out with a data logger that way we could customize our tunes.

With a 2013 m/y, you can play around with some E!

Ya @shoboat if I lived closer I could get it dyno tuned but that's a one time tune and I need to be able to adjust. Thanks!!!

All our tunes are custom and can always be tweaked to anyone's liking.  They are custom designed by our tuner and run on the Dynojet with vehicles that we purchase.  Tunes are then adjusted for various strategy codes.  We also upgrade our tunes on a fairly regular basis ie: Stage 4, 4+ and 4X reaching for the pinnacle.  They are not "canned" tunes that could be used on any particular model/engine across the board.  Our goal is to make tuning adjustments safely for as many parameters as possible and still maintain great daily driver integrity. Performance Driven, Race Proven by 1000's of dyno runs and time slips.

I can't tell you anything about gains by switching from LMS to Unleashed ,but I can tell you that Unleashed has amazingly quick responses to all e-mails. Even all my stupid questions, they answer!! I've never dealt with a business that has such great service!

Don't be afraid to call LMS either. Each time I've called, even for other members issues, they always took time to explain to me what I was looking for.

2 best ones out there, can't go wrong with either.

I don't think you should plan on switching just for "gains" as I don't think you will find any. Both tuners truly know these engines and what they are capable of.

The only real reason to switch is for service. If you feel that LMS is not responding/ taking care of you the way you want then try Torrie.

IMO :)

I would bet that a tune from LMS vs a data logged adjusted tune from Torrie would see gains
I almost got BigMac to let me do the difference as he has a MyCal and I have an SCT that we could use.
Maybe in a few weeks when he's not busy. Hopefully by then Erick@LET will be able to do a tune as well.

That'd be cool to do at the track and compare times. You unleashed guys need to update those times to the list. ALOT of LMS at the top of it.

So LMS doesn't modify their tune for individual customers...

Now before you start assuming I'm drinking the LMS Kool-Aid please note that I'm all stock on this car. Also I  have stated in other threads that when I do toss a tune on it will be Torrie as he runs the SCT TSX. I'm just grateful we have at least 2 great tuners to work with us. :)

I was supposed to go see Erick@LET last week and got caught up with finalizing the sale of my house/moving. I need to schedule a time with him to drop off the SHO for a week.
