SCT with Steeda Tune....Worse Tune EVER

thefrantic1 · 05-02-2008, 06:34 PM

i bought a cai and sct tune form steeda 7 weeks ago. the car ran great except on warm days and being stuck in town traffic. other than that it would haul. i started calling steeda and the crap started. its not our tune its your car. for weeks same sh*t. they finally sent me 3 custom tunes. the car wouldnt even run. rough idle, spits and sputters and falls in to fail safe mode. all 3 tunes the same. i called and complained like hell. still a dozen times its your car. their precious tunes are perfect. i sent the sct back to them thinking they would replace it. they put yet another custom tune on. the car started and ran but is a absolute dog. grandma in her 73 torino could walk circles around me. the car ran smooth but wouldnt even break traction. i put the stock tune back in and took off my new $719 mantle piece cai and the car runs good. actuallysidways through 3rd gear. night and day difference is how it felt with the canned tune. several peeps on here say to get a brenspeed tune. i think i will as soon as steeda refunds or replaces my sct. word of advise dont get a steeda tune.

Color me not surprised. Now they are selling a Watts Link that is knockoff of Jim Fays' and crowing about how their unlimited R&D budget produced this masterpiece and how inferior everyone else is. It makes me smile....

Get your money back. Brenspeed, Bama, etc. will sell you a quality combo that will work as advertised. Speaking from experience, Brenspeed's service is top notch.

I feel for you, and wish you luck with a Brenspeed or Bamachips combo. They seem to be the most popular on this site.

That said, paragraphs, punctuation, spelling, and moderated use of bold text will go a long way to making your posts readable. I understand you are upset, but we can't help if we can't follow.

I have their tune as well. Although I haven't had any troubles, I do think its not as strong as Brenspeed, or Bama.

he was just trying to help you out. Maybe it is your attitude that Steeda didn't like and decided to screw with you. While your being educated,try posting once about the same topic instead of three.

As posted above, Brenspeed is great, everything from quality products to outstanding customer service.

i want to thank all the kind peeps who have answered my threads without criticizing how my text and boldness was typed. i am not the only one texting bold and in capital. look at all the threads. i hope all the school teachers are criticizing them also. seems like i have to say this often. we are all here to share mustang info and warn of problems. whomever wants to criticize my threads then i will block you. thanks again to everyone else.
