Thanks for posting this. I just traded my F150 for a 2010 with 23K. I have debated since the first hour of ownership whether or not to put a tune in. Sounds like the LMS programs are safe and effective!

Rick, Thanks for the stage 4+ program. Seems alot quicker than the stage 4 and I thought that one seemed quick! Can't wait to go to the track and check it out!!! Jim O.

One more LMS customer here. Hoping to get my SCT sometime within the next couple of days. I swear I think Rick just sits by the computer answering emails all day. He responds exceptionally fast to all my questions; which was my primary reason for going with LMS (exceptional service).
Too bad I live in SoCal where we only have 92 octane. Prevents me from enjoying the fun you guys have with the Stage 4 and 4+
. Since my SHO is a daily driver, can anyone tell me the drivability of Stage 3?
Cheers!

Very drivable, so much so, skip it and go to Stage 4+! Although octane could yield a problem for you, not sure.

I would if I could. However according to Rick, stage 4 and 4+ requires 93/94 octane.

During normal driving, you likely won't notice much of a difference. At WOT, you'll definitely notice. A lot of customers run this tune daily.
Thank you,

I DD a 93 octane version of Stage 3, 40 miles one way in Houston rush hour traffic every day with no issues. Anywhere from a 35 minute to a two hour drive each way every day.

Go to your local hardware store and get a supply of Toluene to bump your octane. Works like a charm and was strongly recommended.
Effective in raising octane to prevent pinging/detonation.
It's what I'm doing until my station gets 94.
Follow the link below for a full explanation.

You'll be glad you did.

Thanks a lot!!
Dang it... I swore I wasn't going to try and turn another Daily Driver into a race car... LOL!

Cool stuff, Darrell -- I didn't realize an Alky kit would boost octane as well.
I've been sitting on the fence for a while but now determined to get one.

haha, no race car here either, just street driven, but another few ponies would be nice and knowing she'll last longer is great insurance too.
Probably go to the track maybe once to see how she does, Maybe! but that's it. I promise.

I 've just spent 15 minutes looking for info on LMS's kits and can't find a dang thing (on their site).
Can you point me in the right direction Darrell or do I need to talk to Rick directly?
Wanted to read up on them and check out costs and installation etc.
Cheers,

I would be interested in finding out more about a kit also!!!

Colin,
I sent you a pm and email. They aren't on the site yet, but we can get them. As of now, you will have to fab a few brackets for the pump and tanks. If/when we get another car in here to do an install, we will make a few extra sets.
Thank you,

For info... Go to Alky Contro's website - They are located in the Tampa, FL area. No pricing on site.
If you look on "Devils Own" W/M site, you can get an idea of what it costs, and similar systems. Livernois likes Alkyl Control... I have a Roe Racing system that Torrie adapts. I did get a second W/M pump. Biggest difference is Alkyl Control allows you to use 100% Methanol under safer conditions as their lines are braided vs. hard plastic, which mine are. My system is triggered at 8 PSI and sprays at full rate until boost drops below 8 PSI... Darreli's system uses a controller to vary spray based on boost pressures. With any of these systems, you need your EB engine tuned for W/M. Same goes for the 3 Bar sensor, which really needs a w/m system to counter any knock issues. And... another tune!
All of my tunes are based on the logs I send to Torrie. Ideally, one should get a dyno tune, which covers most every issue, and then via logging, you can tweak it for real time conditions, like cooler temps etc. Assume Rick and Dan can do the same. They are first rate!
Also, do a search on Water/ Methanol systems. There are some great articles that explain all of this for us newbees!

Cheers, Rick -- I'll be in touch for more info.
Thanks Bob, I'll certainly explore the subject via google to read up on it.
Sounds a little more involved with tuning and dyno to get it right than I thought but makes a lot of sense to do so, and well worth the effort.
Now to find the funds to do it all. I'd love to drop in on Rick and the gang of LMS to get the bracketry done that they're waiting on but probably won't do anything now until late winter/early spring. We'll see.
I am going to search for info, tho, and read up on it. Sounds fascinating and a great mod.
Thanks for the help.
