WTF, so you’re saying the original tune was 65hp and now Livernois has an update that takes the tune form 65hp to 125HP
, that would be sick!
I had them send me the updated tunes, it’s the same HP/TQ as before. They just updated the HP/TQ numbers online per my conversations with them. They did say that they have made slight changes to the transmission shifting but that’s it.
I jumped right on their site and it shows 125HP and 125TQ, the tune hauls ass and I never thought it was only 65hp. I can’t imagine its any faster, probably just minor transmission fine tuning, I’m happy as it is.
Got it, is the Raptor engine the same as ours just slightly tweaked from the factory so the end result of a Livernois tune should be similar performance?
that has been my understanding. the raptor just had a tune from the factory to give it 50 more HP.
Ooooooooo I know what I'm doing when I get off work
Thanks Cranbery and everyone else on this thread that sold me on this Livernois Tune.
. Just got the My Calibrator today. Did everything and sent up the Tune request. 92 octane is the highest octane available here in Honolulu at the pump. They said about a -2% decrease of the +125 HP. I'll post again on the results.
I will tell you after having the tune for 3 months it is fantastic. The power is so linear and can be furious when you punch it. I chirp my 35's around 40 mph. It really is a kick ass tune! I only run 93, I can tell you 93 makes a significant difference over running 87.Thanks Cranbery and everyone else on this thread that sold me on this Livernois Tune.
. I know with the newer generation companies can do things to the engine bay that will cause part fitment issues even though it is pretty much the same engine.
Yes if you have a PC. Livernois gives you everything you need for the Tune except a PC. All the cables for the Tuner to connect to both PC and truck is included. *I pasted restrictions below from their website.
. They gave me 2 different Tunes. 87-93 Performance / Tow & 91-93 Octane premium Performance Tune. I will probably run the latter. I only use 92 octane here so that is my best bet but if and when I tow, I will switch over to Tow tune. Sorry went a little deep and detailed but just in case if anyone else was curious.Awesome & thank you for the details! I only have a work windows PC, so looks like I will be buying a laptop so I can do this & dabble in the Forscan mods. The double honk is driving me crazyYes if you have a PC.

You make the Purchase online or other means. They send you the Tuner (My Calibrator). Download the My Calibrator software off their website to your PC. Connect the Tuner (My Calibrator) to your PC to register and update. Take Tuner to your truck to download your stock files via OBD connector and may also have to go under your hood and connect the OBD there also. Again, they provide all the cables for this including the OBD. The Tuner will prompt you. Upload your stock files when connecting Tuner back to PC with the software. I believe it automatically uploads your stock files and sends to Livernois via your PC. Fill out the requested Tune form via their website.
They email a confirmation after the request form has been submitted. For my case they sent me the Tune in a day. I connected the Tuner back to PC and it automatically uploaded the Tune once I opened the software. Now I am supposed to take the Tuner and connect back to the Truck to upload the tune and I should be good. I haven't completed this step yet but will soon.
I hear ya on the honk. I have the PC and necessary cable for Forscan but if you don't close the door all the way the truck won't honk. TBH I would rather it beep twice like my wife's Aviator, anyone have that coding?
. In SPORT mode punched it at maybe 40 mph and the tires broke lose. Still running my stock rim and tires. Truck really moves. In ECO mode it does feel more responsive. I am not sure how much power it has now with the 92 octane fuel but Ya, the Truck is definitely faster. I also noticed the Boost holds a little longer close to the 20 psi on our boost gauge when punching it compared to tapering off a little. I don't know what our stock Boost is on the 3.5 EcoBoost or if now it is exceeding the 20 psi. The Ford internal boost gauge only goes up to 20 psi. I know Livernois tweaks all kinds of things to maximize the engine in a good way. I am curious how much Boost the truck now runs and if they changed anything there. I may call them up to get more info on the Boost, ballpark HP and TQ figures on the 92 octane. I plan on adding aftermarket Air intake later. They said there is no need to update or tweak the Tune due to the way the F-150 intake system is where it will learn with the increase in Air. I am not sure if the Tune also adjusted the Transmission, but it does feel like it shifts better. It didn't really bother me before, but the shifting does feel smoother. I will also monitor the MPG to see if there is improvement or not.
Yo!! New to all the tuning. Thinking about purchasing the Livirnois for my 2023 tremor. It said on the page not available in California. Can anyone help?
Yep, move out of California. :]
