Default Steeda CAI and BAMA tune

Ok, I know this has been worn out, but I FINALLY installed my Steeda CAI that I got in September for my birthday, and SCT x3 tuner for Christmas. My 2010 GT has become a BEAST in comparison. I'm having trouble with the actual tuner itself. Was on the phone with American Muscle today twice for an hour combined, and now I have to call SCT tomorrow. The screen freezes on the device, which is less than awesome.

More than likely you will have to return the programmer. Bummer I know. Now you know what I was talking about!

Sbradle4,

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your CAI and Bama tune. However, I'm sorry to see you're having device issues! It sounds like the Bama team has pointed you in the right direction. I'm confident SCT will get you squared away really quickly!

Let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance from me!

-Dan

Yeah Dan, AM was very helpful, I feel sorry for Zach, whom I was talking (ranting) to last night. He was actually there after operating hours and I'm sure I was less than pleasant to deal with. Apparently even though the screen froze, it completed the performance tune. Calling SCT tonight, hopefully before they close.

What I meant to say in my post was not a bash against Bama or SCT. I was trying to bring out the point that now you know what I was talking about with a custom tune waking the car up. Sorry if it was misleading.

Matt, I was just saying that AM was helpful to Dan, and that Zach at AM was very patient with my frustration, haha.

I know what you meant. I can't believe I waited this long to slap on the CAI and tune. It woke up the mustang more than the CAI and tune I had on my 2004 GTO.

Let's you know what Ford left on the table. Now you can enjoy it. Hope everything turns out good for you. Makes it all come to life!

sbradle,

Thank you for purchasing our Steeda CAI. That paired with the Bama tune will net you great gains!

Let me know if I can provide any support with our unit or if you would like to pair a suspension package with that power.

We offer forum discounts and package specials.

Best Regards,

TJ

Sent you a PM. Can't reach SCT ever during their business hours. Beyond frustrated with this product! Had to return my car back to stock (luckily the tuner worked long enough to do that) and reinstall the factory intake.

This SCT SF3/X3 is absolute garbage.
