Sorry for the dumb question (I'm a computer guy trying to learn to become a car guy, so bear with me), but what does a 3 bar do for you without methanol? I thought it allowed higher boost, but it was my understanding that you needed meth to be able to run that higher boost.  Again, I'm trying to learn this stuff from reading these forums, so please feel free to school me.

3 bar allows the computer to read boost levels higher than 14.7 psi.
Mods that increase boost but don't allow the computer to take full advantage of the higher psi Won't do much.

Gotcha. I guess my real question is, can you run boost levels higher than 14.7 psi without methanol?

yes

Ok, this may be redundant, but this is what im reading, and I just want to make sure im correct.

I currently have an SCT tune, with a Livernois 93 octane tune thats about a year old, maybe 14 months. With no cats, and an intake, thats it.

It sounds like I should buy a 3 bar map, 170thermostat, and then get the newest 3bar map updated tune from livernois, and I should see some performance gains, correct?

Plus you will need the MyCal device as well.  I don't think Livernois updates the SCT tunes anymore, but I could be wrong.

Yea im not gonna spend $600 for a mycal just to run the same tune but with a 3 bar map.

what year is your SHO ? If your tune is a year old I'm sure theres going to be significant other tuning changes other that just adding a 3bar MAP. I changed my tunes 3-4 times over the last 6 months each getting better now running the version 8 (V8) tune. Runs stronger than ever.

2011, and I tuned it probably jan or feb of 2013.

You can have Unleash Tuning (Torrie) tune your vehicle with that SCT device with whatever mods you have. Its $200 opposed to $600 and having a SCT paper weight.

I keep digging up old threads :/
Anyway Im now running Livernois 93 tune (had 91 beforehand) and I notice some of you mentioning 93v8. Is there an even newer revision of this? For some reason they have only given me 93v3....
Thanks

THE 93 V8 tune is for the SHO ONLY and the 93V3 on the Explorer is the new revised tune for the Explorer which basically are the same tune,by the way thats a sweet ride you have there and good luck.
