They also have an E30, that tube is dead serious awesome. Fun for a few tanks but went back to 91 since it’s all I can get. Man I wish pumps would just auto put out E30 haha

For those running ethanol blend tunes, how do you like it? I have the livernois e30 tune and might want to try it. Does anyone know what I need to be datalogging? Can torque pro do this?

I am purchasing a cheap fire tablet to dedicate in the ranger and having my obd2 sensor connected to it through bluetooth. I'm not sure if anyone knows but with the new android auto update it seems you can't use 3rd party apps anymore. I was using obd2aa in conjunction with torque pro and the obd2 sensor to have gauges on my sync display. Not anymore sadly.

Updated to V4 93 Performance this weekend. It's a noticeable improvement, I was still on V1. More responsive, shifting feels great, power improvement. Overall feeling is more refined and smooth. Couldn't be happier with how they have worked on and improved their calibrations.

For those of you flashing a new program in, do you also clear the trans tables and PCM after reflash?

Livernois will do that already. It will throw the transmission into relearn mode right away.

Where can you see the version?

Do you see it when installing the tune?

Looking in the MyCalibrator software I can see the version of MyCalibrator and the version of the tuner, but not the version of the actual tune.

I guess it's a bit of a moot point for me since mine is not even installed and I likely won't be reinstalling it, but I do keep it up to date.

You've got to look at the filenames of the tunes (you'll need to expand the window size/scroll to the right to see the v3/v4/etc).

They have E30 pumps here where I'm at. But it's not the same octane as mixing 91/E85

I've been running the tow tune for two weeks now and I really like it.

I was worried the transmission behavior would be odd, but it's actually perfect. It doesn't act like a tow mode holding gears too long or not wanting to go into the overdrive gears. The transmission is the opposite of twitchy, it keeps the revs lower 1500-2000 rpm until you apply intentional throttle. I'm liking it better than the performance tune. I also worry about longevity with the performance tunes power level.

Does the tow tune provide a performance boost in normal driving?

Indeed it does. I ran it for well over a year in my truck before it meet its end. Just for the fact that I knew I was going to be towing here and there and that I didnt want to deal with the relearn process I kept it there and had no problems.

I will add that you dont have to switch tunes for different octane either. It is set to run from 87 up to 93 octane!!

Yup what Frenchy said.

It targets more low end torque too, so probably better day to day driving, then like he said it's a 87-93 tune. Our engines have octane detection, so the tune utilizes that to understand what octane rating the fuel is and adjust the maps.

Great summary. My thoughts exactly
