Default San Antonio Raceway....anyone going this Friday?

Another member here had mentioned they would be going down there this weekend for a test and tune on Friday (March 15th). I'm also probably going (if I can get the day off), as I'm about to load my final tune after the pulley/injector upgrades.

Anyone else interested in going? Right now its me and Ecks, he has a tuned Whipple and I have a pullied and tuned Roush. Should be some good racing.

I live 15 min from the track but like unbroken said, a lot of us will be in Houston. Otherwise I'd meet up with you guys!

This may not happen for me. During a fresh retune process where I went back to stock (was having issues with trans tune corruption) my sct device gave up the ghost after I had flashed to stock but before I had loaded the new tune. I’m not exactly sure what happend, but as soon as I start the tuning process it says “processing data,” a few status bars quickly go by then it flashes a red led, makes the restart beeping noise, and goes back to the home screen without ever loading the tune.

So I’m stuck on the stock Roush tune which won’t work with my new injectors. SCT is sending me a new device, and Matt at ID Motorsports is gonna update the tunes for the new serial of the device, but I don’t know if I’ll get all this complete by Friday.

I’ve used SCT devices for at least 15 years and they’re great 99.9% of the time...they sure will screw you at the worst time though.

I’ve never had any issues with any sct devices before today, and I gotta think this is some fluke.
Either way SCT is overnighting me a new one and it’ll be here tomorrow by 11am, so my down time is minimal.

It’s not throwing any error codes, it just fails to tune. This is such a weird issue and I’m hoping it actually is the SCT device and not some corruption with my truck. Truck starts and idles, even with the 95lb injectors however, so thats a good sign.

No, GTX. It’s basically a BDX with a fancy screen.

I'm considering going, however I didn't get the line lock installation finished the way I wanted to. I'm still an adapter short to have both front wheels working properly. There may be a lot of people there as it's the first open test and tune of the year.
