I have a Livernois tuner with 3 tunes-stock, towing, and 93 octane. There are other tunes available from them as well. Where did you get the limit of 1 tune with Livernois?
I also run an MRT Sidekick exhaust and am very happy with it.
I lowered my truck and added a Steeda strut brace, an aFe intake, a MRT exhaust and a 93 Livernois tune. I'm 66 and very happy with the stance, the ride and the performance.
I hated the lag and "bogginess" of the throttle as well. My Livernois tune greatly improved the responsiveness of the throttle. I'd considered a throttle controller before the tune but feel that it isn't needed now.
I think that Dueces makes great points. You have to look at the vehicle as a system or collection of systems that are interrelated. I'm at stage 4 in his 5-stage list. Start at the bottom and work your way up, stopping when you're satisfied (if that's possible!).
You missed the chance to ask him if he had any Grey Poupon on him.
With the lowered Mav and a couple more eclectic cars I have the bases almost covered for pissing off rednecks. Sphincter says.... what?
Another thing to consider is the alignment as others have mentioned. Some of us required toe adjustment bars (rear) and cam bolts (front). If you find out that your vehicle cannot be aligned and you require parts, it'll need to be aligned again. Is yours AWD?
I installed my Eibach springs. A good mechanic should be able to do the job in about 3 hours including a bit of time to review the procedure. I have a lift and believe that's a reasonable estimate based on my experience. The front springs take longer than the rears. A lift isn't necessary, but...
I appreciate the guys who push the envelope and share information like this. Some of us are interested in real deviations from stock rather than plastic "mods".
I use this. It fits in a cup holder. It works well if it'll fit your tablet.

I spend a lot of time working on vintage cars and listening to other vintage car owners. The pissing and moaning about computerized "stuff" being complicated and spaces being tight has gone on for decades now. It's become tiresome at this point.
Mechanics should be glad for the technology. I...
