hi, trying to find the previous owner or at least figure out my new 2013 SHO

As I understand it the 3BAR MAP provides not only higher boost communication to the ECM, but does it in a more incremental fashion.  In my '13 SHO, when I compare  LMS v8 2BAR tune to LMS v8 3BAR tune the latter is much smoother throughout... Very noticeable difference. Crisp shifts but not head jerkers and steadier pull at WOT even though it will chirp tires at the 1-2 and the 2-3.

No such problems with my Livernois tune. Aggressive 3 bar tune fine for dd, with plenty of pedal just in case someone needs to be SHOed.

That's crazy chirpage in 2-3 lol, I like that. Well hopefully I can get someone at lms today and see what there pricing is vs what torrie gave me.. gave me a package deal with the 3 bar and tune 300..
 
Since only the LMS guys are here... I'll put in my OPINION. (No need for the riot gear boys...)

I went with Torrie for the great flexibility of tuning. I can do just about anything I want to my car and torrie will work with it. LMS is limited to their parts for tuning. Data logging is easy and it's important to have a tune that is tailored to your car. Every  engine is a little different.  Why not tune for it?

Was your car "the chosen one" on the dyno on the 3rd day man was gifted with LMS? I don't think so.

 
Seems to be a theme at the top of the fastest times list too. There is a thread with alot of info on both sides. Thinks it's "looking to switch from LMS to unleashed"...maybe "MAN (U)" can link it here to keep the waters calm.
 
Because everyone has a local track and the time to go there and bloat about their new LMS tune... yep that explains the "list". You cannot use this stupid list as a reason to buy a tune. There are hundreds of variables that make a track time. Put the cars head to head then we can talk.

I'll drive 200 miles to any LMS guy and give him a run on a track. Needs to be a cool town though. ;)

Yep that's my plan. I know everyone has something good and bad to say about any tuner haha.

Ya know, I am not so sure it is people have bad stuff to say about other tuners, as it is folks are really passionate about their own tuners.  True, some are critical of other tuners, but most debates are about which is better, not about one or the other being a bad tune or a rip off.

Something most agree on is that Torrie and Livernois are really the two most popular/best choices out there.

Any dyno sheets to compare?
 
Still best to get in touch with each tuner with your specific requirements, as capabilities and prices will be the most current.

As of now, if you want:

Datalogging - SCT, though I am hearing of the latest MyCal having a removable SD card for such a purpose
Methanol Tune - LMS/Unleashed
E85 blend Tune - Unleashed (2013+ only AFAIK)
Remote Dyno - Unleashed
Onsite Dyno - LMS, Unleashed (you can arrange for Torrie to come to your dyno site)

HTH.

Yeah let me just drive 4 hours one way to show the interent my cars fast... lol.

I suppose I'll have to at some point. But since my car is tuned by torrie once I get  to the dyno I can have torrie remote tune it. :o
 
Of course the track matters,people drive hundreds of miles to cecil county maryland just because there track is known for good 1/4 times and also Atco in n.j.
