Is v10 Tune Available for '13+ SHO?

BigMac --
I have a 2014 SHO, and I am running the v10 tune. They asked me to try it out based on some things that have been going on. Here is my feedback to Livernois from this week:
-------------------------------
What I like:
1. It seems the shift points are much more solid from gear to gear. The car doesn't wait as long for 2-3 in the RPM band.
2. In stop and go traffic, the car doesn't seem to be as happy to upshift, which is actually kind of nice.
What I'm seeing:
1. I'm still getting popping at WOT but it's not 100% of the time. For example, yesterday I raced a 2015 Porche Panorama Turbo S (which smoked me off the line by the way), but I did not have any popping what-so-ever. Where-as a few days earlier I was hitting the on ramp and it was popping again between 2nd and 3rd gear (65-75ish MPH).
2. When the car is popping, I'm noticing that the shifts are no longer "waiting for a particular RPM to change gears". Rather, the popping is less, and the shift comes quicker. That's the best I can explain it. I'm planning on getting video from the outside of the car showing the pops with v10 soon.
-------------------------------
I'd also be curious what was adjusted so I can help pin point the issue.

Looks like you are ill-informed then Z...good luck finding out what was adjusted from lms ....they didnt even want to say what there fan coolant settings were when there was a general discussion a while back about thermostats....wouldnt want the tune to be exposed due to revealing a fan setting
FYI, I shot a PM off to LME regarding v10. Here is Anthony's reply. Apparently some SHOs from '13 on have a different factory tune... And not all respond the same to v10. Here's the PM reply:
v9 is the most current tune available for most all of the 2013-15 SHO models. There were a select few guys that claimed to have some WOT hesitation like they were running out of fuel. SO if you have v9 and are getting any type of hesitation please shoot me your request over to info@ or tuning@livernoismotorsports.com
So v9 is the best tune out unless you are having a stutter / hesitation which we have a revision to resolve that. The calibrator said he found some things that were actually causing it in a select few SHOs. Not all strategies have this same factory glitch that we were actually able to duplicate on another vehicle here with the same factory code as him, which our shop car will not do no matter how hard we've tried on v9.
Feel free to give me a call / email if you would like to discuss this further and I would be glad to help.
Thanks,
Anthony @ LMS
I may give him a call as I have held off v9 because of hearing the problem alluded to in the reply.

As it was explained I'd more detail v9 came about from tuning a local customer's SHO because he wanted something a little hotter for the strip... Some cars apparently have a slightly different set of OEM parameters and didn't respond well at WOT... V10 is the fix for them. LME was able to prove the software problem on some SHOs, but not on those without the "stuttering at WOT" problem under v9 as I understand it. I don't have any demographics on the cars.
The PM is there. LMS owns multiple SHOs and was nor able to reproduce the symptom on their cars... V10 is apparently a revision of v9, only just released, for a problem with a limited number of vehicles... So if you're running v9 and happy you probably should leave it alone.ajpturbo said:
