Ive had the stage 4+ 93 octane tune for a year or so now and will be adding new components soon (methanol, downpipes, 3 bar and 160* tstat) and have heard of this "V8" tune. Is this just the progression of the Stage 4+ tune or something completely different?

This is the LMS/LME tune for 2013+ vehicles (SHO only?).  4X is the latest for 2010-12.

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!

From all accounts, the 4X tune gets the Gen 4.1 performance very close to the Gen 4.2 performance with the V8 (ceteris paribus).

What is so different about the +13 cars that they use different tunes entirely?
