GT500R

Both great tuners, you can't go wrong with either one.

Tire pressure was around 28 psi in the front 35 rear.

No hints of wheel spin so I might have been able to launch harder but didn't want to risk spinning. The 60' is pretty dang good, if I can cut 1.8x then I think I'll be knocking on 12's

Hey NoDTMF,

To answer your question, yes you can specify shift firmness or overall shift point at full throttle, no problem.

Generally sport mode will be in gear longer and shift firmness is a tad higher.

Let me know what other questions you have.

Hey guys,

Took my car to the track again this past weekend to see what the 100 octane tune can do, needless to say it was pretty strong.

2015 Edge Sport
4640 lbs
Zero weight reductions
Stock rims and tires
LMS V1 tune - first and only release updated 11/15 (not the new MKX tune out, old tune... will they ever release a new tune?!).
K&N paper filter
100 octane

It even says MKS it in the YouTube vid.

Ugh cmon guys.... That's a MKSSSSSSSS not MKX. MKS has 3.5 TT and that run was using race gas.

Right in line with all stock Edge Sports!

Yeah SSi, let's see what that tune was like for my Edge....

1. Paddle shifters didn't work

2. Throttle response was on crack, you got 50% or 100% and no in between

3. Shifting was an utter mess where the program shifted into 6 th gear as fast as it could then you had to go like 50% throttle to stop, cluster f***

4. Part throttle KR (this is due to boost being set to come on as soon as possible... Like 15 psi by 1900 rpm... No Bueno)

5. Was slower at the track then the out of the box LMS tune by a couple tenths....

Worst purchase ever. But if you are looking for a cheap tune with a tuner who will make fun of you publicly for downplaying him, his tunes, or running a bad time at a track, be my guest.

Test results for modified Grille.

Hello and yes I have modified the stock Grille on my Edge Sport. The original intent was to get more surface area of the intercooler and lower the IAT but it didn't pan out the way I wanted to.

It isn't anything special, more aesthetic and symmetrical.

I'll post some pics also.

Are springs available yet for the Edge Sport?

Which tuner? You can do the KAM reset if you have an SCT device.

I too realized that the sport shift points were too high, after looking ar Dyno charts it seems to need to be lowered to around 5500.

I had a similar thought and has the shifts lowered to 5900 but it seems to have slowed the car down... so i kept it at stock shift points.

Are you using the 93 Aggressive tune with firm shifts? if so did the shifting acts like the 91 Aggressive tune with firm shifts you reviewed before?

Yes, similar shifting, but I realized since it shifted kinda high I was getting a bit of wheel hop on the 1-2 shift. Lowered shift points and stopped the hop and actually was a bit quicker.

I want to say there are three different types of tunes avail. from LMS.

1. First LMS tune which isn't known as "aggressive", the first one they came out with.

2. Aggressive tune which had firmer shifts and something else change (can't remember off the top of my head)

3. Chris Larsen special (me)... which is lowered shift points (proven to be quicker) and while in sport mode if you use the paddle shifters it kept the gear you wanted no matter how much throttle you gave (10% vs 100%).... which is good for dynoing and good if you just didn't want the car to downshift

Just purchased a pre-owned 2015 Sport, very low miles, and I love it. Replaced an Audi Q7 for this one, and I couldn't be happier.

Just wondering if the Livernois tune kit is the best in the market right now, and if it is worth the power gains.

Glad to here,

Cheers!!

If you want something you can just install and not have to tweak or log in order to get maximized performance then stick with Livernois. If you want something where you are adding additional modifications to your SUV to make it faster or want to squeeze every single bit of hp out, then look for Unleashed Tuning. Both are good and will give you a good bump in hp.

I wish there were more folks who went to the track

At least with different tunes to see how they all stand up to each other... other then me buying from three tuners, I guess I can be that voice, LOL

Difference on the Aggressive?

"The transmission tune has firmer shifting and an overall more aggressive shift strategy which is the primary changes to the tune."

according to LMS

If anything I think AMS also said WORM bolt clamps are also good, but they stick with the traditional stuff.

I agree with T Bolt clamps as a safety measure, haven't popped off any hoses though, even with the high boost at high rpm.

I only ask because on their aggressive tunes, such as the RACE tune they put on the SHO, they say 109 octane gas, so ...

Interesting... well I sent the logs and hopefully they will have some insight on what went on.

DA was maybe -1300. Pump gas. LMS didn't say anything about winter gas but through logging I could see timing being pulled through logs. If I put some 100 I'm sure the timing would be back to normal and could have been faster.

Updated with newest track time.

Looks like those are the two options available. I've seen a lot of folks run the LMS tune. Unleashed uses the SCT tuner with their tune.

 

Anyone have experience with either/both?

Yes, I have experience both. As mentioned above, the Unleashed tune has been on a halt for about 4 months now to myself (maybe some select people have gotten it, but I keep trying to get the latest and have been told to wait).

LMS is the fastest at this point, and drive ability is excellent.

There are positives and negatives with each one, and plan on doing a full review once I can get a good baseline tune from Torrie @ unleashed.
