From what I understand (could be wrong), if you data log, get your tune updated based on the recorded data, and work through that process a few times, your tune should be the same (or very similar) as a street tune. It's a great option for people that don't live near reputable programmers or dyno shops.

Good luck. I never did get a tune that didn't die at stoplights after I installed my cam. I ended up just getting it dyno-tuned.

I was looking to buy the SCT X4. So I reached out to Steve and he recommended me to get the latest version which is the SCT BDX GM 40490. So I did. Got it within a few days. I went through all the steps of uploading and sending my stock file. In less than a day I had a new Tune in the car. WOW what a difference. I learned about Steve on this forum. Thanks to all of you who recommended Steve. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience and the product itself. I can't even imagine what the car would feel like with headers and a cam with Steve's Tuning. I'll be reaching out to him for more Tunes for sure.

I'm looking at the 40490 and when I view the instructions, I can't see how to upload the stock tune from my car to the device that I would be sending to Steve. Do you recall how you did yours?

Here is the link from Steve, hang in there, it’s really pretty straight forward. And Steve, here’s to a speedy exit from the hospital!

The video is for the X4. The OP has the "SCT BDX GM 40490" which is the version I got and the instructions looks a little different. The 40490 allows you to upload/download your tunes from your cloud account right to the handheld and then to your car, no PC required.

Figures. The whole computer world has changed since just last October. I’ll be glad when we decide we no longer need these effin things. Sorry. As you were.

Paraphrasing...."call me while I'm in the hospital and I will help you". That is customer support!

Good luck Steve! Hope you get better quickly.

Steve did the tune on my 15 SS. The first tune was a little too aggressive for my tire budget, so I contacted Steve, told him my concern and he dialed it back a bit. I reference him every chance I get, he's "Aces" to work with!

If you see this Steve, get well soon!
