I know there’s several threads on this topic already but maybe things have changed…

After recently installing upsized new tires (BFG KO3’s 285/70) I’ve got the urge to do some perf mods to my 21’ Ranger and just put an Injen CAI and CVF catted DP on. I was originally basically sold on doing a Livernoise tune but after more researching it sounds like they offer mainly off the shelf tunes. I’d prefer to have a tune dialed into my personal truck. Unleashed and Revolution both offer that it seems. I’m wanting a tune that will help preserve my tranny’s life while still offering a good jump in performance. I noticed that Revolution offers an anti-lag option for Sport mode and certain off-road scenarios. Can anyone offer experience on this anti-lag feature? Is it something worthwhile? It seems this forum is mostly 50/50 on which tuner they prefer. If you were getting your truck tuned today who would you be choosing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I bought a Livernois tuner off a member of this forum, and could not be more satisfied.i installed the tow tune, with they tell me can be used with both 87 to 93 octane gas. I slso had them do 93 performance and E30 tunes.
93 performance tune and the truck is s whole lot more fun!
The E30 tune turns the truck into a hole different beast! You have to play chemist (a little though)
Fist, test the E85 you have available by you, using a test kit readily available from Amazon or FleaBay. The RaceTrack by me is actually E55. Look on the 'net for an E30 calculator to see the ratio of E55 to 93 premium. Then, run the tank till almost dry. for E30, add 24 gals of 93 octane and 4 gals of E55.
Voila ...E30, witch I believe is 97 octane (race fuel).
Lock the rear diff, turn off traction control...power brake to 3000 rpm ..release the brake and smoke 285-70R17 MT Baja Boss tires for 20 ft!
No power brake, and my Draggy app says 0 to 60 =5.9secs.
Anyway, I daily use the tow tune with 87 octane...gets me 20mpg around town, and on a trip 2weeks ago up to Jackson, MS, I got 26@ 75 mph.
Couldn't be happier with Livernois!
