Installed Livernois Tune
- Thread starter GalenaST
- Start date
My Tranny was partially rebuilt under warranty because of the faulty solenoid that COMPLETELY stock Trans are having replaced(Even XLT’s and Limited’s with the 2.3). It caused a weird clunk under certain down shifts. So yeah, in no way the tunes issue.
The symptoms were actually WORSE when on stock tuning. ZFG’s Trans tuning slips the clutches less in Sport than factory.

Google is your friend... literally googled “ZFG Waiting List”, and got this link and the Facebook post ZFG made about it as the top 2 hits...

Haha! I googled it after I went to the FB Page and clicked on the link. Just to see if it was searchable.
It has been there since the beginning of February. It was there for at least a week before it was posted to the ZFG FB Page on Feb 14th.
Wix(Where site is hosted) could have been having issues the day you looked, but it has definitely been out there for more than a week.
All good! Glad you are signed up. Adam’s tuning is well worth the wait.
Guess we sidetracked the LMS thread a bit. Back to your regularly scheduled broadcast.

Let me rephrase where I went real quick because what I clicked on is actually still there. If you hover over "custom tuning" and then click "ford" when it pops up, that was what I was seeing and still see. I dont know that I ever went to the main "custom tuning" page which is where the above is posted.

Could have written YOUR response without ever reading it. 
Then I was asked a question, and answered. Then 2 completely different people complained they couldn't find a link that was easily found via FB, or Google. That is apparently my fault also...So sorry!
Previously I have been in this thread, because I genuinely want to know how LMS stacks up. I want to see numbers. Several in here say they are going to get some Dragy numbers. Still waiting to see them for the new revision. On paper it looks like it should be strong. Honestly I recommend LMS over 5 Star ALL THE TIME! ZFG(Waitlist), PBD, LMS, then anybody else.

I was brought back in to this thread by @blaster9 mentioning ZFG tuning taking out my Transmission. How is this my fault? ....

Indeed, but its got to be a more aggressive tune right? Not trying to knock it or anything. I presume its either running leaner or more boost to get another ~30whp or so (comparing LM's dyno vid and lokiwolf's results). I don't mind Livernois running it a bit richer to give it some extra cushioning. Would be interesting to see a LM tune and ZFG dyno run on the same dyno/conditions.
Not necessarily.
I believe ZFG has you send log files and then he updates them into a more custom tune for your vehicle.
I do not believe Livernois does this, at least not as an "included" feature of using their services. They may do it for more cost.
So ZFG is a more custom tune vs. Livernois that has to live in everybody's vehicles so they have to be more conservative.

The data logging is likely the difference as others indicate it allows a much more vehicle-specific tune to be had. In my experience, canned tunes are generally more conservative but can still be as unsafe or even more unsafe than custom tunes which may push the envelope/timing/power/etc more. An example would be my last FI vehicle (whipple-charged Silverado) came with a canned tune with the charger. However, we opted for HPT and discoverd it needed a touch of extra fuel around 4-4500 rpms as it was too close to detonation. With HPT, we were able to add (and reduce) fueling virtually anywhere and everywhere as necessary. A canned tune is likely just gunna run pretty consistent throughout (hopefully ample fuel across all RPMs) but not always as every vehicle is different.
