I was just about to click "purchase" but thought I'd ask you guys first.

Stock my truck put down 342/366 with a 3800 DA.

What kind of gains might I see out of this set up theoretically? Would anyone recommend Livernois? Anyone reject them?

I'm open to any and all suggestions, guidance and wisdom y'all are willing to share.

Thanks

Sounds like a great idea to me!  But I am biased.  I have had fantastic luck with Livernois and built up a great relationship.  I would guess that realistically, you could expect in the neighborhood of 50 HP.  My original tune got me 45WHP.

I'd only question the AirAid... if performance is the goal, and the data I have is based on my '13 SHO, not F150. The rest sounds sweet!  I have had excellent customer service and support from the guys at LMS.

That would be a good addition. I cant imagine the night and day difference after having it all installed at once.

Since you are running an f150 based eb vehicle, I would,t be surprised if the tune netted you well over a 100hp/100tq gain.  Not peak to peak, but at points in the graph.  At least 70hp/tq peak, i would think.

The gains you'll get from tune + downpipes is sure to put a massive grin on your face. Based on having read this message board inside and out. I'll be doing the same to my SHO soon (had a little pothole debacle-setback).

That would be nice, I also have looked around at a few other goodies, including a circle D stall converter, FRPP exhaust. I already have 18" wheels for some sticky tires.

That's a bummer, they're bad around here there are certain roads I won't drive the Mustang or my motorcycle on.

Yeah, I have nothing but praise for Livernois..I have had great customer service from them. I agree the tune and downpipes are the best for performance gains.  I love my Airaid, but I don't think there's much gain from the CAI...but if you get the Airaid, be sure to order a pre-filter for the filter, it will keep the filter much, much cleaner.

I was considering not using the cold air and using the stock air box. I could sell the CAI to anyone on the street here in Midland, Texas Ecoboost F150s are a dime a dozen.

LMS is a great company to deal with. I've ran their tune for 25k miles on my F150. The only things I do not like about my LMS tune is that updated tunes are rare (only one in over 2 years) and LMS is the only company that utilizes the AIW MyCal programmer.

Unleashed, MPT, LET, JMS, 5* and any other tuning company you come across utilize an SCT platform. If you were interested in trying other tunes, you'd have to buy an SCT on top of already having your AIW.
