LMS Tune review

[FoMoCoSHO]

Is the 93 Performance tune the best one to run for the mods that I'm doing for now? Is there a better tune to ask for?

That's the one...3bar tune?

You need to make sure to have a top tier fuel provider you can count on for good gas in the winter months though. Winter blend gas has a hard time meeting the 93 octane it's labeled as.

Livernois has warned us of the possible damage that adding e/85 could pose on our fuel system, maybe motor if abusing the % of e/85 added.

Just monitoring knock retard from Torque pro, I noticed my "KR" double when winter blend arrived during normal driving and a slight increase under WOT.

So I add 1.5 gallons of e/85 to each full  tank now to boost the octane a bit. Puts me around 15% E...not to bad seeing that we get 10% E normally.

I have only been using Shell's 93 V-Power. Here's a lab analysis that I came across that someone posted on it a few years back.

Thank you so much for that. Very interesting (and for my purposes, troubling) that the Shell I use may already have 11% corn in it.

I wonder how the blends vary from state to state, as at that concentration they would need to disclose on the pump which they do not.

I checked the pump filling up at Shell yesterday and no labels on the pump about the blend.

I apologize for not posting this here... I thought everyone knew about this website... I find it very useful....especially in AZ where even in the 4 months without E10 our "reformulated gas" sux.

In my case, every station I've seen with pure gas, labels it as such aka "no ethanol"

That's great...is the 617awhp sho still on direct injection? And extreme shortblock as well?

As the owner of the car in question, I can happily report that other than the addition of the 100% Methanol, there have been zero upgrades to the OEM Fueling System.

Still "On Direct Injection" to quote you specifically.

LMS / LME actually performed a long block build for me. Details of which can be reviewed here:

Any other questions you may have, I'll try my best to answer. Otherwise, your needs are best served by contacting LMS / LME directly.

Thank you for the compliment.
Yes, the SHO and extreme shortblock are both still direct injection.

Tuner, tstat and 3 bar the only things besides exhaust and head studs avail for the explorer? Is direct injection the hurdle to get over for an 11 sec explorer?

That is NOT all that is available for the XSport!

We have a meth injection kit, turbo impeller upgrade kit, turbo upgrade kit and an extreme shortblock all for the 3.5L!

Want to go 11's? That is definitely something that we can help you with. We are the current world record holders for the most powerful EcoBoost SHO @ 617AWHP & 608AWTQ. Now that vehicle has yet to hit the track, but we have already had a vehicle with less done to it go into the 11.90's!

There is no need to look any further if you want to set a world record. Nobody knows more about the EcoBoost platform, or setting new world records in them than we do!

If you would like to explore your options, let me know and we can schedule a conference call with you, my engine build supervisor, machine shop supervisor, vehicle installation supervisor, head calibrator and myself.

Oh boy!
This might get me in trouble....

Your tuner is ready to be updated! I apologize for the delay if you had requested an update earlier, but you are all good to go now :-)
