x29387576082598345 totally agree... I offered help
Well they are two totally different posts. The title of that one is the question I was wanting answered there and the title of this one was for a discussion here on the tuning problem. Also I'm not even worrying about it anymore til we get it on the dyno again in the morning. I will be sure to post up the results and what fixed it if we find a fix.
Your tuner doesn't know what the hell he is doing. You need help. That's why I offered to help you out, but you can handle it, I can see that. You've been at it for over three weeks. Looks like you guys got it covered
And it doesn't matter if they were two totally different posts. I still offered help. I guess you think I am going to steal your tune that doesn't work or something...

I really don't know what you are talking about. There is no way possible for me to give you my tune even if you asked me for it which I am certain you have not. I am not in posession of the SCT handheld, the tuners computer or anything like that. As I have said I have not even paid for the handheld. All I can give you is exactly what I have, a car with the mods I have repeated over and over and a flashed stock PCM. What is this help you are talking about? You want the serial number off the outside of my PCM? What's that gonna do? You gonna mail me your SCT flash to put a file on the car? Even if that's your plan it's not going to get here before tomorrow morning when it goes back on the dyno. If you really wanna be a help send me your phone number and I'll give you a call tomorrow while it's on the dyno if we run into any problems. Then you can also talk to the tuner yourself if you so desire.
Dude, you need to chill... Didn't we originally tell you that your tuner is the problem? I don't want to be an asshole, but seriously, there is something wrong here. It has to be in the file somewhere.
Enough with giving you shit though... What computer code are you using... Give me a mod list... Let me see what I can do. Hell, Email me the tune and I will look at it Mana4real@yahoo.com ... Just send me the MTF file and I will look and see what you've changed and try and do my best to find out why it's mess up... I get off work at 6 pst tomorrow, so I will check it out as soon as I get home, that is, if you send it.
PS if I get up early enough tomorrow and you send the file, I will take my laptop to work and try it out.
I bolded where I asked you for the tune. Have your tuner send me the MTF file. I was going to change the same settings that Dave changed for you (in the tune file he sent you guys that you are going to try tomorrow) and then some. I could go through it and fix any obvious mistakes. If you are using three bar sensors, you need to be using the processor code 04510850AA processor code (You can install any processor code tune file on the PCM). Then you make all your changes from there. The 400 HP tune he sent you was a miscommunication. The processor code can be tuned to make at least that, but it takes a lot of time and tuning. You can't just throw it on and expect results. I have made over 50 tunes with this file alone experimenting with different things.
I don't want to send you my phone number, you aren't the one doing the tuning and I am not really sure you understand. It really shows that you don't understand because I don't have to mail you a tune, I could email you a file. I wanna help, but you really just don't understand.

You don't understand lol. I have said time and time again I don't have the SCT flash tool. That's what I asked "what are you gonna do, mail me your flash tool?". I could sit in the car all day with an email open with a file you sent and it's not going to get it on the PCM.
As far as sending me a file and it making 400 horses, why not? Nemiro says he could do it. We sent SCT a mod list of everything about 2 weeks or more ago apparently while Dave was away and got a file back to use with my mods. I understood it not to be a generic file. Miscommunication, maybe.
Anyways man, thanks for at least saying you wanted to help and offering. It's not that I didn't send you a file, it's that I couldn't. Understand that.
I understand that you don't have the files. It doesn't matter who has it. I was telling you to send me the file. Get it to me somehow (have your tuner send it) and it could be repaired and emailed back to you or your tuner.

Oh cause you posted that pretty late at night and said you'd take it to work the next morning.
You said you were going to send me the same thing as Dave anyways and his file doesn't work so I guess that saved us both some time. The car will only make about 300 horses and once it gets to 6200RPMs it drops power like a rock. Pretty much the same thing I made this thread for only now we know the car is definitely not missing so whatever it is is in the tune.
The tuner has been on the phone with Dave several times and as far as I can tell they are both outta ideas.

Sounds like you just need to modify the tune to make more power. So you need to "tune" the car. Dave isn't sending you a tune to make 400 horsepower, he is sending you a base tune to alter everything. He sent you a base tune to fix your problem with the TIP code... That's what I was going to fix. Then I was going to let your tuner do his job and do the rest.
Oh, I am three time zones behind you, so that would have given you plenty of time to get me the file before I left for work. So you would have had to send it by 11am your time.

Yes but I was saying it was late at night and I could not reach the tuner then. If I had known I coulda went in the AM. I am gonna go get my car off the dyno now and get any information you want from the tuner and e-mail it to you. Him and Dave have thrown in the towell and are saying it's my car now.

I posted this in your other thread but I'll post it here as well...
Can you provide us with and dyno charts or datalogging sessions? As much information as you possibly attain would be good.

Yeah man...we obviously did that. Then when it still would not go over 6200RPMs we got Dave on the phone. Things suggested were more/less timing, more/less fuel, turning off the knock sensor etc. None of it made more than 300 wheel and nothing makes power over 6200RPMs. Did you rev over 6200?
