Settings for Livewire?
I want to adjust the fuel/air mixture and spark on my livewire but have no clue where to set it. The only mods I have are magnaflow cats and a magnaflow siso 3 inch catback. Can anyone give some suggestions. 05 F150 5.4 screw 4x4. Thanks in advance.

May I ask why? You mods need no adjustments. Are there any additional details or symptoms you are expecting to resovle?
If this is for the canned tunes, they are pretty much optimal already, and unless you know precisely what you are doing, you will likely on make things worse.
Are you planing on hooking up an external Wideband to guage any changes ( the unit is capable of displaying output natively). If not, you will have no idea of what your changes have wrought. Butt-dyno is useless here.
If these are cutom tunes you wish to adjust - first thing yo u need to do is consult with yer custom tuner feller. Again - it's probably already nailed so you won't be improving upon anything here either.

Yeah I am waiting on my custom tunes from troyer. I was just trying to get a little more out of the tuner until I recieve them because they said it would be 10 to 15 weeks. I just seen it was an option and was looking for some input. I know on older vehicles we would advance the timing a little to get more power that is why I was asking.

The tunes, being octane-specific are not gonna respond to timing bumps.
Rather, you are likely going to hurt performance, as the knock sensors will just start pulling timing out from under you.
Just leave it alone & wait, IMHO. Or you can ask TP what's advisable to play with, if anything.
Refer to above w.r.t knowing what you are doing, and forget carbs & distributors...
