Well I got a ticket saying something was in at the post office and I went today to pick it up... It was the SCT Livewire ordered from Torrie at Unleashed Tuning... Well being the ST junkie I am I opened up the box in the parking lot at the post office, plugged it in and uploaded the Performance Tune that Torrie had loaded on the unit...



What a difference! Just the sound of it driving sounds that much better, let alone the lag on shifting appears to be gone, and gets to higher RPMs before shifting... Its going to cost me a lot of gas money now I can see it.



The truck seems WAY more responsive to the gas pedal... I am quite amazed. I had my 01 tuned and it made a difference, but on the STA it seemed to go from Highway cruiser mode to PERFORMANCE mode with whatever adjustments were made with the tune.



I havent even spoken to Torrie, and I barely got a 30 minute run on the tune so far, but im impressed now, now to see what it can do with some minor adjustments.



Thanks Torrie!



And I recommend this mod for anyone with an 07+ ST, it makes a big difference!

chris,

now you have me considering for my 07 V-8 :eek:



glad to hear there is a difference. are you set to run on regular fuel?
 
Its 89 octane that im using in the ST right now, and thats what the tune was made for.



The cost, check out Torries web site... I forget the exact number, but I did have to pay $35.00 Duty when I picked it up.



Also Gary, I would recommend it, its quite a difference... and I like complaining about things and I have no complaints with the tune so far. ;)
 
you got the feel with the 89 Tune,..



Just wait until you try the 93 Tune.... (My Favorite)



and I found that the 93 Tune was a little better for MPG then the 89... but that just might have been my FOOT...

 
Awesome Enjoy it Chris !!!!



Take care,

I've been driving around with the performance tune since the day I got the Livewire unit and I am just blown away by the difference in how the truck performs...



It is really night and day and if your 07+ seems a little sluggish for a v8, you have to go get a Xcal3 or Livewire because its worth every cent I paid!



Got my intake and flowmaster 50 suv muffler today... I am using the same tip as Doug Potts (I even asked permission) and thats all im waiting for and I will have my exhaust done. Cant wait! I miss hearing the exhaust like my 01 ST Flowmaster 40 series muffler...



 
True once you have your vehicle tuned right you will never be able to go back !
