Welcome to the community!

As painful as I know it was for AJ, he's right. You can ask any owner of the Mustang, Fiesta, Fusion or Focus guys about JMS products. They are the heart of the majority of smaller EB failures. I would not recommend them to anyone, not even AJ! ;-)

You want to make sure that you stick with a tuner that is extensively experienced with the EcoBoost platform as a whole. They are very sensitive to odd things, like plug gap. There are countless threads on all of the EB forums about cars that seemed like they were dying, but only needed new or properly gapped plugs.

The biggest reason to choose our tuning is that we are completely independent. We use our own proprietary tuning software and MyCalibrator device for all our tuning. Having our own proprietary tuning software and hardware means that we have more control over what we can and ultimately will do. Our software allows us to have far more access to your ECU, and because we have more access our tuning files are much larger than most. This only shows that more of us goes into our tuning files VS the competition. We routinely invest in test vehicles both pre and post public release to ensure that we are offering the most responsible aftermarket support in the entire industry. There also is not another aftermarket vendor that has the corporate ties VIA their R&D and skunkworks for the big 3 domestic automakers and their performance divisions.

Tuning is easy! Your tuner will arrive to you completely blank, and ready to read info that will give us your factory calibration. You email that info to us, and we build you your tunes. When they are built we provide you with an app to download to your PC. This app will allow you to connect to our secured remote tuning server. All that you have to do is click "Update Tuner", and that will send us your factory calibration. Once we get that info to our calibration department we will have your custom tuning files ready for you in 24-48 hours. Whenever your tunes are ready to put onto your handheld we will email you letting you know that you can plug your tuner back into your PC and update the tuner again. After that, just load your tune onto your car and have fun!

There are not any negative side effects to responsible modifications, especially tuning. We are making power by making the car as efficient as possible. We have the longest and most successful track record in the EcoBoost platform, and all without a single client vehicle failure. We hang our hat on that achievement!

Here is a short list of some of the things that we have been able to achieve in the Ford category alone since 2009.
In 2009, before anyone had software, we were tuning the Ford Taurus SHO and Lincoln MKS.
In 2011, we were tuning the F-150 EcoBoost before other companies could even flash it.
In 2012, we had tuning support for the 2013 Ford Taurus SHO while other software companies had nothing available for 6-8 months later.
In 2012, we were tuning the Explorer Sport, almost a full year and a half before anyone else.

Welcome aboard the E.B.P.F Mate and Definitely a tune is the biggest bang for your buck as BPD stated above and stick with a reputable Tuning co like info@livernoismotorsports.com.....Unleashed Tuning....Erick from LET....AJP-Turbo-Tune....and how many miles on her?  best of luck and thanks for joining.  Z   

I love the color of your Taurus!

I have 140000 miles on mine, it's all highway miles though, but it's the reason i could afford it with the budget i was on. Very glad about that.

The original owner really looked after it, i see absolutely no signs of abuse at all.

Although he was a fellow hoon.... I had the VENT TO ATMOSPHERE hack already applied with the chair leg method.

it sounds great

I like the idea of a Livernois tune, but the device itself is 600 bucks!
That is twice the JMS (not that i want that chip anymore, but i had my mind set on the 300 mark)

Do i really need to buy one?

Can't someone who has a tuner just download my tune into it and deliver it to my ECU for me? Is that a service anyone provides in the St Louis area?

I bought a used Mycal on this forum for 150 then Livernois charges 300 for unlimited tunes (You have to marry the tuner to a specific car so no one can use their tuner for your car). The tunes and customer service is worth every penny.

Welcome, thanks for joining! I'll leave the tuning with LMS on tunes but our downpipes, coilovers and hot pipes are pretty dang nice.

For the initial investment of $600 you get far more support than the average tuner offers you.

First off, you get more than just 1 or 2 tunes with us. Your MyCal tuner can hold 4 custom tunes plus your stock file a t a time. You can have 4 completely different tunes on your MyCal tuner at a time.

Secondly, we offer continual ACTUALLY UNLIMITED tuning support. As you grow with your car, we grow with you! Let's say your modding journey starts with just a tune. Then you later decide to add a tstat, we will tune for it free. The next month you get a 3BAR MAP sensor, free tuning update here too! The next year you get a CAI, no problem. The year after that you buy downpipes, still free! 5 years after that you get a catback...guess what. STILL FREE!

BUT WAIT, there's more! We also offer supported vehicle swapping for no additional charge! So your current SHO is a 2010...you decide to upgrade to a 2013, free tuner transfer! Then you lease a 2016, we still have you covered! There is so much more than tuning that goes with your purchase.

Lastly, most tuners after a certain period of time will charge you for any tuning updates that they create themselves. WE NEVER CHARGE YOU FOR THIS, LIKE EVER! There are dozens of guys on this forum alone that have started with our tuning on their 10-12 car, moved to a 13-16 car that have received more tuning revision updates than anyone could possibly even count.

I haven't posted about this but I've been running an LMS tune in my '15 F150 for a year now. Wife DD's it and has no complaints about the tune at all.
Thanks to Dan and the guys at LMS, I happily endorse their tuning.

Thanks Mike!

So now AJ is the only one left LOL!

[AnotherGreenFusion]

Just starting to play with LMS tunes since the '15 Fusion has more limited tuning options than the earlier model years. Trying them and Unleashed via SCT.


I like both so far.


Both companies are super fast to turn around tunes but I did get more tunes for my $ from LMS. The LMS tuner is simple but also the easier of the two to work with when it comes to loading the files and flashing the ECU.


On the flip side it is really nice to have the digital gauges and datalogging the SCT provides. Plus if you ever get brave enough you can DiY.


Minor things but its always good to know the differences in what you are considering.

Only one left for what?..to have your tuning or endorse lms?....well i secretly refer people to lms when they ask me if i can tune for them without logging....im not interested in that type of tuning so i say they are a customer better served by lms

[Livernois Motorsports]

Nevermind man, it was a joke...we gotta tune some humor into your base cal!!!!
