Been hearing a lot about Livernois tunes. Anyone have a comparison between what I’m running now,ZFG, which is a great tune in itself , and Livernois?

ZFG holds all the records, and has a lot of amazing reviews about the tranny tuning and throttle mapping. Livernois is okay, but definitely not as good.

Once you go ZFG, everything else is a downgrade.

Can't compare others, but did just complete my ZFG tune process. It was super easy with their app and module. Hardest part was finding an empty straight road to data log on, especially with the Thermal exhaust and downpipes not being very "stealth" lol.

Crazy happy with how the tune came out. Did the DMS version so Normal mode has a nice uplift in power and better daily driver shifting, Sport is hardcore max power and very sport oriented shifts (like stock sport mode but on steroids), and tow is tow of course. Happy to report the vehicle is now even more of a beast. Wife confirms "its like I'm on a rollercoaster" as far as the thrills go.

Livernois is a canned tune. ZFG is custom. It all depends on what you want and use your car for. ZFG folks tend to want the best available and the Dragy validation that goes with it.

I have the Livernois... like the performance, the shifting improvement, the price (they had a $499 sale when I got it back in the day), the customer service and the free updates. I have no interest in Dragy numbers or 1/4 mile times--although I like to hear what others are getting!
