Steeda CAI install loss of power
I was running the stock CAI and a Bama performance 91 tune on my 2010 GT. The car ran great and had good torque and power. Always wanting to improve the power, I purchased a Steeda CAI and Steeda 93 tune. I cleared the KAM before installing the tune. Now the car seem to drive like it is stock 
. The torque and power is noticeably lower and it really is disappointing to drive until over 4000 with is not realistic on the street. Any ideas what could be wrong? It seems like I wasted $500 and am ready to pull it off and go back to the way it was. Still no word from Steeda.
Thanks,
Jon

Yea if they don't get this tune right. I'll just give up on them. I even left a message with the tuner and never heard back. TJ does the best he can but it's up to the people at steeda to contact their customers back. I sent some datalogs and I found out I did them wrong he didn't even message me saying oh you need to do it over again. It's like they don't care. I tried to get a refund a long time ago but they were like we will fix it blah blah blah. We shall see lol

Understand we we sold you the device but the product is made by SCT and we do not have the same level of support as they do.
Best Regards,

You deserve a tune that works and this will be a top priority.

I don't notice anything better till higher speeds/rpm like you previously stated. My car's fast enough so am okay with the loss of torque in lower rpms. It's not by much. Yes, the tune definitely helps!.. best investment I ever made for my Stang!

Just wanted to give an update. Steeda was very diligent in helping me and trying to solve the problem but ultimately I decided to return the CAI. Matt and Tim were very attentive and helpful and I appreciate their assistance.
