Default please help with sct fooboo

I was selling a sct xcalibur that was set up when I was NA.. cai and a bamachips 93 tune. Guy came over last night to buy it seen it was still locked to the car, Against my better judgemnet I he asked if we could try and unlock the SCT X on my car.. Hooked it up now my dynotune from the other programmer my SCT X3 seems to be missing. I have tried to reflash and I am getting a error code 1035. The shop told me they keep their tunes on file. Now I am scared to drive in fear of going to lean cause I might have the tune from when I was NA. I have contacted SCT and the tuner just waiting to hear back. I know I should not have screwed with the tune that was currently on the car. Since I am supercharged just dont want to go lean or to much timing. Any advice would be very welcome at this point.

I wouldn't drive the car unless I knew the tune was correct. I would reupload the most recent tune for the supercharger.

I got in contact with SCT and they told me how to restore the stock file to the SCT X3; which I did tI then loaded the custom tune back onto the car. Now it seems like it is running leaner that it was before I messed with it... I got into contact with another tuner and he planned on writing a new tune to compensate for the 4.10's, smaller blower pullley that I am having him install. I think I am just going use a roll back to take to shop just to be safe.. I guess a good thing car never ran more than 5 min at idle and NO idiot lights came on.
