LMS Rant

[CroR1]

maybe it would be a good idea to have a sticky for people who live in states were emissions are required.

I do not think closing this is the answer. People aka consumers need to be able to see all experiences whether good or bad about these companies. I figured what better place to give my experience than a popular forum where people who are interested in these purchases can get real feedback that's not just popular for the company. If someone asked me if I thought they should purchase an LMS tuner for their ecoboosted vehicle I would say sure, but make sure of this and this as I would with any tuner or product someone would be spending money on. I'm simply sharing my own personal experience and hoping to help others who may have had similar experiences or issues. Isn't that what its about? Do I wish my experience was more pleasant? Sure I do, but I did not post this asking for LMS to chime in, they chose to do so, this was not me coming here looking for a back and forth. It is what it is, but I personally would rather be able to find things like this as a consumer to help educate myself on companies, products and future purchases. I'm pretty sure as consumers we can all agree there is good and bad with every company in existence, but I always find myself a skeptic when all you can ever find is 100% positive feedback yet I am experiencing difficulty myself with said company. Its because of things like this, where not everyone agrees on something so it gets removed. I do not believe removing this would serve any purpose other than to silence my experience which I chose to voice here.

Topic's not going to get removed.  But I do hope LME can remedy any grievances you have.  Like you said, can't expect any company to have a 100% positive rating, all the time.  That's a monumental task.  It's what they do to set things right that count.

In the meantime, if you do have the pipes switched out for emissions testing, remember it takes time for readiness monitors to complete their cycle.

Just to throw this out there:

I had headers on my '04 F-150 that caused the check engine light to go on. The code was catalytic system inefficient, or something like that. I would just use my tuner to clear the code. When I had to go for emissions I would wait a week after clearing the code (sometime it would go after a few days, sometimes a few weeks). Point is, if I cleared the code and waited 5 to 7 days, the system would be ready and I would show no codes. A PITA, but I only had to worry about it every 2 years.

I found this link. Not sure if it works, but maybe worth a try.

My SHO was the one that the turbo's were smoking...  It did not catch fire.
I am a very non-emotional individual, and I am not praising or changing my opinion 180 degrees.

Yes, first go around LMS built my car with larger turbo wheels in the factory turbo housings, which leaked oil past the seals, etc.  Based on this they took the car back and have had it for quite a long time doing the build as it sits today.  I am hopeful that the car when I get it back is 100% flawless RTG, and is within the top 4 fastest in the country in the 1/4 mile. 

IMHO, LMS has pioneered the EB platforms across the board.  Without tuners and shops like this we as performance enthusiasts would be years behind.

I have to agree and give Livernois Motorsports the utmost gratitude and appreciation for pioneering the E.B PLATFORM with not only with there fine tuning and performance bolt on's,but taking the platform to another level by engineering internal modifications and surpassing one's expectations,with that said hopefully BOOSTD SHO will updated us on any substantial performance gains on his vehicle and best of luck.Z
