Yeah, you're both right. My research was definitely inadequate and I confirmed the $300 "licensing" transfer fee when I spoke to them about possibly returning. And to sm105k, not a dick. Just dropping some knowledge and helping me learn a tough lesson. Wish I woulda joined here before and simply asked around a bit first. Live and learn...
No harm no foul. We see this time to time. Even though this forum is SHO dedicated, 4th and 5th sub forums are the most active, so we see what works and what doesn't.
You have to remember, the 4th and 5th Gens have been around for 10 years now. LMS was a good tuning company. The 2010-2012 cars (4th Gen) ran good. They didn't have many issues. However in 2013+ (5th Gen) the ECU changed, and LMS struggled to execute a tune that performed better and was safer then other tuners.
I would install the items on your car like @ridered74 suggested. If you are looking for a bump the LMS tune will provide that. However, you will be leaving more performance on the table. Also with LMS you can only use them for the tuner. If there is something funky with the LMS tune, email or call them directly A.S.A.P.
If you jump ship later down the road, I would suggest Gearhead. Their Auto Octane tune is pretty damn cool. You will have to buy another tuning device (most likely a SCT), however....you will be able to use numerous other tuners that tune with SCT.
