[QUOTE="99saleenspeedster, post: 14547267, member: 4188"] Livernois tuned my Fusion when it was 2 days old so it still had 87 octane fuel in it when I got to Livernois, so I got the device loaded with Livernois' custom 87, 89, 91, and 93 octane tune files. I immediately noticed improved throttle response and the transmission calibration was much improved! Shifts are now firm and precise and it no longer feels lazy or like the trans is slipping between gears. In stock form, the car would chirp the tires (barely) and go. Even with the 87 octane tune loaded, you have to roll into the throttle or the tires spin through first, chirp on the 1-2 shift, and spin through the rest of second gear. If you roll into it, it still spins a bit and chirps the tires on the 1-2, but it feels much quicker. After filling with 93 octane and loading the 93 octane tune, I took it back to put it on the dyno. The 93 octane tune felt almost like going from stock to the 87 octane tune in terms of seat of the pants gain. This is without a doubt, the best modification for these cars. In addition to the increased power, it gets much better fuel economy. In stock form I was seeing 22.5 avg mpg (all city). With the Livernois tune, even with some spirited driving, I was seeing just over 26 mpg (all City). [/QUOTE]
