Ya i kinda picked up on that. All the feedback is cool and informative. I was driving a 98 jeep xj when i bought my SHO. I never heard of LMS or any of these other popular ecoboost tuners until then. I guess im guilty of the marketing like alot of guys have been. Wish i would of came to the forum with this question sooner. I guess atleast im not experiencing anything crazy with there tune right now. If I do before i get an sct from GH i promise i wont be on here whining about it though ;-)

After my 2014 recently got totaled I just brought a 2016 SHO which I'm looking to tune, I'm not looking for the track or strip myself, I just like speed and performance. I have read through so many comments and it has been quite confusing on who to go with for a good tune. Before reading the forums I was ready to call LMS but the more I read it seems like there can be issues and there are much better options out there. After the reading I have done I think I'm going to go with GH, I've been trying the last couple of days to get a hold of them but in the meantime until I get a reply I am open to suggestions if anyone has any input I would appreciate their feedback.
Well man ive had zero problems with my tune from LMS. I dont think youll find anyone on hear that will recommend them though. Youll hear horror stories about there v11 tune and there customer service. Which is enough to make me regret running there tune. I mean when your tuning ppls cars that they rely on everyday and charging them top dollar for it you better have good customer service. Im personally switching to GH within a week or so. Mostly because i just want the livewire ts lol. The new fancy tuner from LMS has about 50 guages to choose from and none of them read boost psi. Seriously?...Thats disappointing. Anyway thats all I really know. Im not sure anyone would read this thread and go buy an LMS tune. Thats what they get for not giving me a boost gauge! Hehe.

Just tap a hose off to a gauge. Very easy and cheap
I'm thinking LMS not showing boost in psi is for a reason...

My v11 peaked around 15.8-16.5. I used my sct x4 to data log my lms tune and had Brad look at those logs to see what the true issues were with it

I had my 2019 SHO at LMS and I've had no problems with their tunes.
My LMS "tuner" will read anything on the OBD port, including boost, but I believe it does not read directly in "psi."
And I never had any problems talking with anyone there.
And yes, as previously noted, back then they were tuning a lot of Dodge "Hellcats."

Hey folks, sorry, rekindling ANOTHER one. LOL. Felt like crap all weekend so I've basically lived on the site.
I'm trying to get to the bottom of what people experienced as a "hanging" shift with the LMS tune.
From 1st to 2nd WOT, occasionally the car would sound like it was rapidly banging off the rev limited but it also had the nastiest "clicking/banging" type of sound. Very much like the AWD system was saying "NO THANK YOU" and it made me fear I had trans issues. With the PP, if it turned everything off as much as I could it would not do it. I swore up and down it was the LMS tune but I cannot remember if i pulled the tune and tried otherwise before I lost my motor. Anyway, saw this and was curious if I was experiencing what other were trying to explain. LMS told me it wasn't their tune.
I flew to MI, bought the car, and planned to drive it back home so, I thought it was cool to stop by their shop with the car and buy their stuff.

LMS vs GH thread
This thread covers a lot of it. Figured I would throw it in here for anyone that gets lucky w/ the search button.

I did a few good descriptions of the LMS issues with my car. Check my old posts. They will always deny it is their tune. They are both dishonest and incompetent. Get away NOW.

Just looking through some backdated post and your responses crack me up. It's crazy how marketing can reach so many people faster than accuracy of product and it's still proving to be volatile; Even w/ all the info circulating on this forum. utter horseshi.t HA HA AH AH HA HA HA HA

Blown engine with LMS. I am one of the lucky ones though. Car was under warranty and Ford replaced the engine. Stay away from LMS.

I've been lurking on this site for a hot minute, about to pull the trigger on a 550hp build, turbos, pistons, the whole 9 yards. I'm lucky to be a mechanic working at a dealership that will let me drop my engine and do everything here. My question is with all the tuners, which one should I go with, I love the tune I have but they won't revamp the tune with my catless downpipes right now, emissions and all that. Just looking for yalls two cents.

Anything over 400hp, gearhead or ajpturbo would be only two tuners i would trust.
