Default Sent back SCT Tuner today

for a reload or replacement. Hoping for a replacement. The first tune I loaded was great. Everything I've heard about them. Decided to change from 93 tune to 89. Sluggish, so put the 93 back in. Sluggish still. Spent all weekend trying to load one of the 3 tunes hoping one would be better than stock. None ever did. Talked to Brenspeed and they told me to send it back. They said it didn't make sense as it is impossible to change tunes if you use the skip options selection. But, all were bad after the first try. So, something must have gone bad with the device. Hoping for better results with the next one they send me.

Thats kinda weird cause I seem to be having the same problem. I thought maybe it was just me. When I loaded my tunes for the first time the car pulled hard from a stop and now no matter what tune I load it seems like stock now. I thought maybe i was just getting used to it but I have only had my C&L and tuner for about 2 weeks now. Im curious to see if it is a problem with the Sct or not. Keep us posted please.

Have you actually put your car back to stock and ran it a few miles to see if there is any difference? After that initial tune (which was perfect) all tunes have been noticeably WORSE than stock. When I idle and just give a small rev up or take off from idle, the car almost conks out with a slow intake sucking sound before it actually starts revving. If I get the next tune loaded and am happy with it, I'll probably be too scared to change tunes again.

No I have not put it back to totally stock yet but I think I am going too and see what happens in the next couple days. My car seems to be doing the same as yours. When i would accelerate before with the tune at first it would kick in and start pulling really hard and at first it almost felt a little scary to drive compared to stock. Now it does not do that at all. It does seem to really bog down when i pull out from a stop now. Seems like it needs to be reved alot high to keep from stalling out.
