I just took my car in today to the shop to have the longtube headers, delete plates, underdrive pulleys, and the b ama tune put in. We werent able to put any of these on the car. First, we tried loading the b ama tune onto the SCT Xcal 2 hand held tuner device. The tune would start to copy over onto the SCT but at 100%, an error on the computer screen would pop up saying download failure. We were using the live load software. Not only was the software updated, but so was the firmware for the Xcal2. Everything was updated and ready to go. All three tunes by B ama were on the laptop and we tried loading everything onto the tuner. It didnt work. Any solutions to this problem? I called JJ at Woodbine Motorsports while I was at the shop and he said to just make sure the software was updated. He also said he could send me the tunes through email BUT I wasnt sure if I could get my money back from B ama. Also, I have heard good things about B ama's tune. Is my Xcal2 just a dead device? My car is sitting at the shop, almost an hour away, and I dont want this project to turn into a month long deal. Any advice? Have any of you running the B ama tune or any custom tune off of the SCT Xcal2 come upon this type of problem?

 

I am assuming you have been here and downloaded these:

yes...

 

I had JJ do my tunes. He did a real good job, I need to give him a call about doing my suspension.

 

I had a problem trying to reload my diablo tunes tonight....there was a compression setting i had to set. It was giving me an error similar to yours. I am not totally sure that the SCT software has that type of setting or not. Dont have my SCT with me so I cant get the program to start.

 

I still dont know what is going wrong. The mechanic who is doing my work has my tuner. Everyone talks so good about B ama. It just sucks because when I go to do the install... I have so much trouble. I just hope I dont have to end up sending the SCT to B ama to have them see what they can do... We had deleted the stock tunes off the tuner so I literally cant drive the car at all...

 

Where did you get the tuner from?

 

I just down loaded my 93 race tune from B a m a to my SCT with no problem on friday, I returned my car to the stock tune 1st just
in case I had a problem but everything worked just like it should, this is the second tune I got from Doug and like I said no problems,
I erased all the stock SCT tunes 1st then I down loaded Dougs tunes to my SCT, It almost sounds like maybe your running out of room
on your unit, try completely erasing your SCT before you down load the new tunes.

 

Howermat, I got the tuner from the Ford dealership. And they ordered it through Steeda. I believe that this was a mistake on my part by going through the dealership.

Partsbill- I am pretty sure we erased all the stock tunes and everything off of the tuner and then tried loading the new tunes. The mechanic is going to try and mess with it tonight hopefully. I hope it isnt just a dead tuner and I have to send it back or something or order a totally new SCT tuner...

 

You got an SCT tuner from ford...wow.....i cant believe that
