LMS Tune....

Hey guys...I did some testing a few days ago and I am concerned that I am either doing something wrong or something is wrong with my car. I have a feeling I am not gettimg all the power out of my car with the LMS 4+ tune.

Can you guys tell me what you are seeing for 0-60 times? Roughly?
2014 SHO Ignot Silver. MDesign CF Intake, 3 BAR MAP, 160 T-Stat, LMS 93 OCT V8 tune.

You should be running the V8 tune, right?  I thought 4xxxxx was for 2010-12 only?
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

My pre tune numbers are in my sig.....

But i can say if you are using Torque or any of the variants to measure 0-60 they seem to read slow.

Depending on weather Thursday maybe i will get some updated #'s

Through torque it gave me a 0-60 time of 6.98 and 1/8th mile at 8.9...this was after going to the track and getting nothing above a 8.3 (only once, every other one was 8.2 or better)...best 0-60 on torque has been a 4.9

Same question...what are you using to measure 0-60 times.  FWIW my car wasn't feeling terribly fast and I would get 0-60 times of around 5.2 seconds using Torque...then I went to the track and pulled a 12.8 in the quarter right after driving it there for 2 hours.  Also - When I was cruising down the track next to an after market loud exhaust Challenger (and beating him) my car felt fast just because I could hear all that sound...even though it wasn't my car. (Yes I know that's weird).  In other words the car is quiet and smooth and I get used to the power...

One note is that if you are running 4+ instead of the 4X tune with a 3 BAR the car will be several tenths to a half second slower.  The 4X tune really wakes this car up. Edit - you are running a 2014 so it should be the V8 as indicated above...

With 4+ (supposedly similar to your V8 tune) I had the following performance using an Aeroforce gauge:

I am using Torque to monitor and yes it is the V8 tune.

My best time was 4.5. Seem right?

4.5 would be better than I've ever had from torque. 12.66 1/4 mile at the track, so I'd say it's good. If the car starts to feel slow, ride as passenger and let driver get on it!

4.5 is very respectable for a tune only.

Thanks guys. Going to try and get to Great Lakes Dragway in the next few weeks, see what it can really do. I'm already lookin to go to the 4+X tune..... But my buddy says to wait. Run with what I got.

Yup, that's about 70 HP from nothing but a tune.

Where else can you get power that cheap?

I have been on this forum the magority of the whole day,and it has come to my attention that as soon as i posted regarding LMS delaying there response to my Email,not even LMS from this site responded to my post,as a loyal and forum supporter,thought probably will get some honest inputs from someone????
