The only one I know is Rich. He was going full E85 so his situation is different. As for revisions, doesn't surprise me. You can test all you want, sometimes in the real world it's different. Least they took care of the issues. Remember too, these things have been only out for just over a year too. May get one later in the year, see how good it works witj my meth setup.
I'm not sure the benefits are there if you are already running meth. On my 2010 I talked to them extensively about combining the two modifications. The sum of the conversation with Dave and others over there basically ended with.... If you already have meth, then the HPFP isn't going make a difference other than peace of mind in the event there is an issue with the meth. The meth setup supplements the fueling well enough that you don't need any additional fuel. For instance, look at Mike K's SHO.... fully built with the stock HPFP and meth.
I see the HPFP as an alternative to using meth and/or you want to blend E85. For me personally it's about safety and ease of use. The meth kit from LMS is about $900 plus a few hours of install time. Then you are also managing two types of fuel. So there is a slight amount of overhead with meth. But the benefits are phenomenal.
Forgoing the meth and just picking up the HPFP allows you to just use 93 octane all year round with their most aggressive tune for pump gas without worrying about fuel pressure issues. Just fill and go. Now your not getting to cooling and octane jump like you would with the meth setup. And it's enough fuel to support ATPs as well on pump all year round. Additionally for me, I can swap the pumps, 3BAR, CAI, and tune in under 30 minutes so I can drop my car off for warranty work. With Meth that's a lot more complicated...
At the end of the day it's all about goals... for now I want something stupid simple that gets me into the solid mid 12's that's safe all year round.
I was running mid 12's on my previous rig with the LMS 4X Race tune without meth. Only different thus far is DP's and Exhaust... but the V11 tune pushes almost 2psi more on average of boost. But the V11 tune is too aggressive for all year round use... at my elevation of damn near sea level I am seeing uncomfortable fuel pressure drops in 60F temps (below 1000psi).
In any event that's my rant... I just get concerned hearing LMS is having problems tuning for a 1600 dollar part combined with what I would say is an unsafe V11 tune.
