Default aggressive tune loses it's potency??

I think i read this has to do with adaptive learning.
My new AM 91 race tune is pretty darn aggressive.
I have to reset the tune every week. i don't reflash,
but i do the ignition switch, gas pedal trick, which seems
to work pretty well.
I would reset my bama 91 performance tune every month.
The AM 91 race tune is a weekly reset.
I'm guessing it's just more noticeable when a really aggressive
tune starts to lose some of it's power.

Do any of you notice this with your aggressive tunes?

AMchrisrose, if you see this post, can a tune be written that
won't lose it's potency?

Thanks,

Despite what I've heard regarding AM and/or Brenspeed claiming to be able to "turn off" the adaptive learning, I've yet to read where people state that it worked. A few hear have posted that their supposed tune-with-adaptive-learning-turned-off still goes limp and requires a battery disconnect to bring the car back to it's snorting, aggressive self.

I typically disconnect the battery about once every 4-6 months but then, my Stang isn't my DD and probably only sees daylight MAYBE once a week.

Reloading the tune doesn't reset the adaptive learning from what I'm told.

when you load new tunes, it definately resets it...

think about it, if it didnt reset it, when you loaded your tune, you wouldnt have noticed a difference.
