Just installed the 93 octane tune from Unleashed and took a little test drive. All I can say is holy ****! Can't believe what a difference it is.

I know how u feel , I remember when I drove after my first tune on this car. I just got a new tune and from the datalog I sent in to Torrie and my car is like a rocket now. It was fast before and everything is better now especially the shifts hard and crisp.

Reading all of these reviews makes me want a tune so badly. Unleashed vs livernois is what my challenge is.

I was in the same boat until I read you can't data log with the Livernois tuner.
That's a deal breaker for me.

I'm glad to hear you're really enjoying the new tune! I almost purchased during Unleashed's Memorial Day sale, but decided to push the decision off a little longer.

Yup, it's a difficult decision - both are well respected and you really can't go wrong with either choice. I like the device options for Unleashed, but I think there is something to Livernois's choice to move to their current device.

I think the decision (for me) will be driven by the level of support Livernois shows for our platform. If it's a similar level of dyno-proven add ons like the SHO, I'll probably go down the more expensive road, but enjoy simplicity and peace of mind. But if that doesn't materialize, then Unleashed will probably get my business, since making changes to support various 3rd party parts will be easier.

I've never tuned a car, I would like to see the difference. Anything you could point me toward to educate me?

Dlm1984 u said the simplicity of livernois. Just so u know they are both the same plug in and go. But with Unleashed you at least have the opportunity to log and fine tune if u so desire.

yeah I like the simplicity of logging, email torrie, "hey can you adjust this, maybe that. I installed a new FMIC and exhaust" and then getting the tune for those mods. I've always thought Livernois was blanket tunes. Don't know if they do individual updates for people, without logging it's just guess work on there end.

 

[dlm1984]

I guess I should elaborate on what I meant with the simplicity comment.

AFAIK if you want to get more than basic corrections for mainstream mods, Livernois wants you to get the car to their shop for further tuning.

However, if they provide SHO level support (IE producing exhaust, downpipes, 3 bar sensor, CAI, intercooler? etc), it covers the basics that I'd be considering. I expect they would have an excellent idea of how the car would respond to each of their products. They're not cheap, but the decision process would be simple. Want an exhaust? Buy Livernois and select the appropriate tuner option. Downpipes? Same thing.

No having to choose between a couple products and reading a bunch of sometimes conflicting or incomplete info. Just buy ($$$), install, update tune and enjoy. Simplicity. . .

If they don't produce those products, then Unleashed is the way to go, IMO.

im sooo ready to tune too

 

[Pinky023]

Just do it. You'll be glad you did. I did the Unleashed 93 tune at 700 miles. Glad I did. Money well spent!

[Wkubeck]

Hmmm I'm at 750 miles.....already have an X4 from my mustang with MPT tunes so all I need is the tune files, thought you had to wait a few thousand miles before tuning to break in?

 

[RonBurgundy]

Pinky - How many miles are you at now? Any issues or concerns so far since the tune?

 

[Pinky023]

4500 miles now. No problems at all with the tune. Had to go back to the dealer a couple of times, and it's quick and easy to put it back to stock. Plus, my gas mileage actually went up a little with the tune.

Win-Win bro. Just do it.

 

[Pinky023]

What is this "break in" thing people talk about??

I got it from the dealer with 224 miles. Made them do the first oil change at that time as part of the deal. Then I just drove it hard from there.

Nothing "broke" so I guess I'm "in".

 

[RonBurgundy]

I agree with your break-in philosophy. Use it for what it was made to do, but don't abuse it. As for 93 Unleashed, just done it -- I'll be there before 700 miles are on the clock. Thanks for the encouragement -- not that I needed any. I may have a problem, truth be told.

 

[Pinky023]

Excellent! Keep us updated please.

A tune on a factory turbocharged vehicle is without a doubt the best bang for the buck you can get. I ordered my unleashed tunes the same week I bought the car lol. I always tune my factory turbo cars, its just too easy, inexpensive, and effective not to.
