Long story short my car is locked to a tuner i no longer have (sct livewire) because it was stolen. i have a new tuner (sct x3) that i am going to use when i get a real tune but right now i need something to get me by. I had cams installed and i thought it would be a lot more drivable than it is. Is there anybody that has cams that can possibly email me a copy of their tune to temporarily get me by until i can get dome dyno time setup? i have a full bolt-on 5 speed 01 GT with longtubes offroad midpipe and stage 2 na cams. i am going to get my ecu flashed back to factory in the morning so i will be able to use my new programmer.

thanks for any help!

talk to cliffyk

 

if you bought ur tuner from am they might be able to send u a bama tune

 

SHouldnt there already be a tune on your ECU, sense you had cams installed? Becare full throwing just any tune on, i wouldnt beat on it till you get a fresh tune

 

I cannot help as each tuning system manufacturer encrypts their "transportable" tune files, each in a different manner, to protect their intellectual property.

The OP should contact SCT and provide them with a copy of the police report for the stolen Livewire unit; I am sure they will help him out--I know the people at Delta Force would...

 

nope no tune for the cams. it was uned with my livewire before the cams were in. I ended up having to take it to ford and they were able to flash my ecu back to factory and then i found out i have no compresion on cylinder 6. took it back to the shop and they said the rocker arm is still on so they think it is a bad exhaust valve that might have been slightly warped and when they put the new valve springs on it might have rotated and got bent worse or collapsed and is stuck. so now the head is gonna have to come off and the valve will have to be replaced. does what they said sound legitimate? the guys that did the cams have done cams before and seem to really know their stuff so i dont want to question them. they seem like stand up guys and they have been working with me on a lot of stuff these past few weeks.

 

If they were sloppy with putting the cam in they could have pushed a valve down while that piston was at TDC and bent it during installation. Or they ran it untuned and burnt the valve. What shop did you use, I live in Tulsa and curious to who you used.

 

If you take your car to a sport shop, they do know what there talking about, but becarfull they do make mistakes somtimes haha and they know how to make extra money if you just let them do what they want.
