The most significant difference I've been able to note is in shifts. They're near instantaneous now.
Although, I never had any issues at all with my previous tune. I never experienced and hiccups.

Glad to hear the shifts have firmed up as the previous tune left a lot to be desired with the speed of shifts, especially the 1-2 during WOT.
I am wondering what I got sent. Email from LMS says if I want meth tune to contact them and email also says I received meth tunes. I wonder what I got? I will update tuner later today and install in car
Here's the email
Your tuner is ready to update for both 91 and 93 v8 3 bar tunes. They are safe to use with or with out meth. Let me know how you like them and I can have my tuner make meth versions for you. You now have all 4 tunes for the 3 bar, 2 meth and 2 no meth. Have a great weekend!

I've been running the revised tune for a couple of days now. I've made it a point to put it through the paces and everything seems to be good here. I'm running the 93 tune with no other mods. I also looked at some data logs and nothing strikes me as being out of line there. Can't wait to get the car on a track for it's annual passes.

Been running 93v8 meth tune for a few weeks now. Was sent out to me when I did my meth install. Definately pulls harder and longer than previous tune (although some of that is the methanol) been to the track a few times (1/8th mile). Havent broken into the 7's with it yet. best run so far has been 8.112@88.9mph. Picked up about 3-4MPH on average. But times have been consistent with what I have ran before in similar temps. After comparing many slips it seems with the added power my 60ft has gotten worse and my 330ft is about the same as before. Maybe a traction issue on the GY F1 supercars.
Just got in from putting the hammer down hard on the 93v3 tune and all I can say is it ROCKS...definitely feels stronger than the 93 high boost tune. Trans functions are spot on with a heavy bark on the 1-2 shift... Big thumbs up LMS..

I can't frigging wait to get my downpipes and my new tune.... It should be a major jump...
Thanks for the update..
I received my email from LMS today that my tuner was updated with the V8 tune. I immediately updated my tuner and loaded it up in my SHO. The car was on fumes so I went right for a full tank of 93. Filled it up and took it for a beating. It runs smoother than it did stock and the new update definitely pulls harder than their previous V793 tune I was running. It felt quite a bit faster at ever rpm in every gear even with the weight of a full tank than it ever did before with less than a 1/4 tank of gas which used to be my favorite time to really open it up and rip around. It feels smoother because it's faster more noticeable in the higher rpms and higher speeds where I was the most disappointed with its acceleration before. That's all over now makes me want to mod more now with a revived belief in its ability 
I'm surprised they say it only picked up 10whp on the dyno it feels more like 15-20 in the midrange and +10 in the higher rpms. I wonder if that was peak gains? Shifts are Better downshifts faster turbos and engine seemed to sound different and I thought I heard some blowoff noise when I had my windows down for a few to listen.

Do you have a 3bar MAP ? Spark plugs gapped ok ? I didn't get that at all with my V8 update. My previous hesitation with my LMS tune was reduced with a CW tune for winter fuel blends then my hesitation reduced more with a 3bar CW tune and now eliminated with the v8 tune which they say doesn't need the CW for winter fuel blends anymore.
I don't have meth but I put on Nitto Motivo 255/45s on mine which eliminated any tire spin / hop. The car rides a ton better too and it fills the fender well space and looks pretty beefy. I'm really surprised you're not more excited about how your SHO is running you should be moving out.Txstrmhntr said:

Hey 86_GT, any chance you could post a pic of those new tires on the car (a closeup of the wheel & tire on the car) I am interested in those exact tires in that size. Also is yours lowered at all?
