I just ordered the SCT Livewire for my 04 Excursion. I have a 4" turbo back exhaust, and a CAI installed. Doing the coolant filter this weekend. I mostly got the tuner for monitoring capabilities for now since I haven't studded or ******d yet. My question is, what is a safe "box or of the shelf" tune? Is it safe to punch it up at all without having studs and ******s done?

I have the livewire (IDP tunes)myself, no studs. Air intake and with 4 inch down pipe into a 5 inch all the way back. I run mine on the street tune. HOWEVER.. I do NOT make fool(HA) 1/4 mile passes OR beat the hell out of it. I do hammer on it though! haven't had a problem

I would recommend running tow. However, i ran idps extreme street for a while, over a month with blown head gaskets. The head gaskets are only blown under boost/high cylinder pressures, so it is not completely catastrophic like on a gasser.
