From what I am reading,  Dan at Livernois seems to be doing more custom mods to peoples tunes, like Torrie did for me.  That may be why things are slower, especially if he has lots of customers wanting that kind of service.  The ones I got a couple years ago and had updated to current strategy code, are the basic canned tunes, including 4+ - 93 octane.  I believe that Rick was actually mating the strategy codes from purchasers to the canned tunes, which would account for the quick turn-around. 

Essentially, logging and sending log to tuner, and having  tune revised to support the data is  sometimes better than a dyno, as it considers real world operating conditions, and things like wheel slip etc.  However, it takes more time, especially turn around time, if you do the logging several times.

I'm sure you will be happy with the tunes that will arrive shortly.
Bob, you may be correct with this assessment and it also seems that the earlier cars were just a bit easier to tune.  I have noticed that a fair amount of the '13's seem to have little problems (i.e.:shifting, starting, power loss) after getting a tune.  Could it be that the 13's do need more of a custom tune touch then the earlier cars?

I hope the wait is worth it.  :-

I got my tune on Wednesday (14 Aug) and all I can say....

WOW!!  :biggrin:

I spent some time with the tunes and I am impressed with the changes. I am getting better MPG and more power. After getting a call from LMS to see how things are going, I know that any new part that I get, I can get an updated tune.

Looks like LMS has another customer for good!  :beer:

YAY!  I'm glad you finally got it.  Have fun with it.  I am anxiously awaiting my update.

Has anyone received the XV1 tune yet? Wednesday I got reply they are handling a large volume of request and will get it out as soon as they can. I'm curious what's changed in this version.

I'm still waiting on my tune as of today. I sent in my info on August 13th. I'm hoping they got the bugs worked out of the transmission on the '13 SHOs...

I wasn't clear; let me try again.

Last night I went boosting and several times I hit the limited in 1st gear. I was in D mode and not using my paddles. It was really odd, so hoping new tune will fix this.

Sent from a mobile, I think.

I went boosting last night and had 1 to 2 jitter with some people in car. It was annoying.

Only thing that will fix that will be all new torque/motor mounts. Need to stop the wheel hop.

Not what I meant; sorry.

I had the 1-2 "I don't know what to do" deal; it hit limiter and just bounced until finally killing throttle--then it shifted.

This was in D mode; which is odd--it normally never did it.

Easy fix.  Have your tuner soften the shift on the 1-2.  Had mine adjusted so it's firm, but not teeth rattling.  LOL

Oh that.  Still contact your tuner and they should fix it.

How many times did it do that last night? Mine is stock and it's done that once or twice in 36k miles.
