If it were me I'd put the tune to stock and see if it still gave me the issue.

It's going to throw a million codes, and it's too dark to try to launch it. I live in a neighbor hood were police don't f*ck around. Honestly I think I know what this issue is. The sct software on my computer gives me error codes when trying to install he tunes, so I went to a different computer and hopefully it'll work out.

I have a similar problem that I've assumed is my clutch. I'm wondering now. Interested to see how the adjusted tune helps.

I found out that the tune itself wasn't the issue... My tuner is corrupted and sct needs to remotely format it for me. So no results until Monday... I am 99.9% sure this is the issue.

How did you discover that?

I typed in the error codes on google and 4-5 sources said I need to contact sct. I tried three different computers and three different cables and it did the same thing at the same time each time. It would give me the error corrupted code about halfway into loading the tune. Here is the error message:

I have no error codes. I just big when I'm launching. Figure I need a driver mod too.

You have too much power to not be able to break your tires loose... Is your car manual? If so, what rpm do you launch at?

Oh I break the loose. When I launch on DR's and I stick good, sometimes it bogs. I launch at 4000 rpm now.

/\/\to me, drag radials suck on stick cars. i had to hit the exact sweet spot with rpm and clutch slippage, and it was very difficult to get right. since i went to the et streets, i can launch up to 5k or even ocassionally up to 5300 and it'll stick w/o a problem and get about 1.64 short time. best i could ever do with dr's was a 1.82.

these are the 17x11x26 bias ply tires at about 12psi.

i forgot to update this thread. After calling SCT and having the remotely completely restore my tuner, I loaded the tunes and the issue was fixed! Still doesn't do burnouts though!!
