LMS Stage 4+ questions

[Brucelinc]

Will an octane booster do the trick? If you are on a road trip and can't get 93 just toss a booster in right?

Rick, when he was with Livernois, discouraged the use of octane booster on these engines - not sure why.  I have been told that a can of the stuff would only raise the octane a smidge - like from 91 to 91.2.  I can't confirm that, either.

In any case, for Art, you can get the 93 at the BP stations I mentioned in my previous post.  The BP up in Anoka has it, too.

I ran a booster at the track and would not recommend it.  Just use straight 93.

I've read that Torco is one of the only that actually works.  But having not used it myself . . .

I called and spoke with someone at LMS a year ago about octane booster and they strongly discouraged me from using it. I have heard of guys feather footing the throttle till they could get the normal 93, but I'm too paranoid to do that except as an emergency last resort tactic. Sooo...I just bite the bullet and load in a 91 tune. Maybe next year when I head out to Maine, I'll try the 91 version of 4 instead of going back to 2/3.

Got my new MyCal about 4 hours ago, sent LMS the info from my car, just waiting for my tunes now. This is the regular Mycal, not the touch. Hate this waiting part lol.

I hope they come tonight but, probably tomorrow.

Is LMS using the non touch screen mycal tuners pre 2013 cars now? Thought was only for 2013+

[SoCalSHO]

That Is What I Was Sent. The Packaging Shows For 2011-2013 SHO. So Far It Has Been Able To Retreive All The Info Needed To Send To LMS. It Communicates Faster Through The Port.

Hmmm, I just visit there site and the one they show 2010-11 is the touch screen which is $800 and non touch screen for 2013 is $600.
Now of course this means nothing and there site need some updating.
Hopefully you spoke with someone upon placing your order, as if its the incorrect device could brick your ECM.

Thanks for adding to my worries LOL. Do you really think it could brick my ECM? When I hooked it up to get the readings today, it did so without any hesitation. I would think that if the Mycal was not compatible, it just would not do anything. Even when you try to program the car, I think it would just fail, and not let you proceed.

There is always hope, I know sometimes Dan works late.

Sorry I don't mean to add to your worries. I just know at one time the mycal without touch screen was only for 2013.

[SoCalSHO]

Lol, I was kinda kidding. I called this AM, they are compatible with the 2010's.

[SoCalSHO]

There is a new sticky on top talking about the tunes and stages.

[SoCalSHO]

Crash, no brick, all is well. Looking forward to my commute.
