Be prepared for about a half a gallon of coolant spillage at least ...

I am looking to probably do it out in my driveway.... that way I can just rinse away (into an appropriate container of course) I am going to pick up some coolant on the way home so if I do have a "coolant blowout" I will be ready.  Thank you for the heads up.  Does anyone know if our thermostats are directional?

I am very anxious to hear how you like the 4X and how much difference it makes in your ET.  I have been running the 4X for about a month.   Although a more aggressive tune, it is perfectly friendly and smooth in daily driving.  It really wakes up when you put your foot down, though!   

I am glad to hear someone say that it is ok to drive daily with the 4X tune.  I didn't want to have to keep flashing the ECU when I would track the car vs daily driving.  I will post my results hopefully this weekend.  Thank you for the heads up on the daily driving capabilities of the new tune.

You are correct if you dont let the car cooldown,you will loose substantial ammount of fluid,in my case i let the car sit overnight and tackled it in the morning,lost about half a cup,jut prepare youself with extra coolant and burp the car a couple of times after driving it,to let air out and add coolant if necessary.

I'm running the lms 4++ tune that they said was very aggressive and not for dd... i actually think it's smoother than the 4+

Oh yeah? I'm running the 4++++. It's super aggressive. Pretty much hit warp speed the other day.

I would honestly Email Anthony or Brandon over at LMS and ask them if the 4xxx is suitable for a DD,i have the V8 and havent had any issues,regarding the stat there is no direction,just slap it in with the old o ring,good luck.

4+++++....lol....lms updated tunes for my 2011 this year does have a 4++...3 bar on order...3 bar still means tune only right? If so, I'm coming for that 12.669 fastest tune only?

The new LMS 4X is a great daily driver tune as long as you can get 93 octane fuel.  Based on my Aeroforce gauge, there is no knock that results in retarded timing and the fuel pressure and  cylinder head temps are in line with the 4+.  I think the idle and overall behavior is smoother plus I am getting a bit better overall fuel mileage than with 4+.

You will see higher sustained boost than with 4+ but there are no wild crazy boost spikes.  The boost comes on earlier and stays steady right to the shift point.  It seems that they did a nice job of balancing boost, timing and fuel with this tune.  Oh, by the way, my 0-60 dropped from 4.20 to 3.94 based on the Aeroforce gauge. 

What all do you have done to your car?

Nah I only made it to 8.9999999999. So close though. Maybe if I twist my #8 spark plug so it faces north I can get to warp 9.

Haha.

Just the tune and a K&N filter in an airbox with a 3 inch hole cut in it and PVC plumbed to an opening in the inner fender area.  I also have a bit lighter tire/wheel combination than stock.  The road where I test is new concrete that is very abrasive and provides awesome traction from a dig.

Guess I need to see what my 0-60 is. I need to find a better way to measure. Torque is to slow. Maybe I'll use livelink.

Too Funny

Everyone I know who uses Torque reports slower times than they should be.  I am not sure what the deal is but I have seen it many times.  Maybe the Aeroforce gauge is optimistic but a friend of mine with one has compared it with 2 other measuring tools and found it to be quite accurate. 

When totally stock, I was around 5.2 - 5.3 which is very much in line with the magazine road tests.
