This is my first post in this section so bear with me.
Here is a link to a previous thread if you'd like a complete background updated as it happened, but I'll try to summarize it here as best I can.

98 Cobra, JLT cold air, Bassani o/r X, IMRC delete, flowmaster catback,....think that is it....
I ordered a Livewire with custom tunes. Got the tuner in loaded the tune and teh car ran horrible, stumbling down low and feeling like it hit a rev limiter at 4000-4500 rpms, depending on the gear. Car is completely undriveable.
Tried datalogging but the Livewire wouldn't communicate with any opf my laptops, after going back and forth with SCT and sending it to them and them telling me that it worked fine, the tuning company finally had me send it to them where they verified it was in fact bad and they would send me a new one and have SCT retrieve my stock tune off the old one to send me a restore file that was supposed to correct the problems with my car.
SCT "broke in half" the memory chip in my old livewire supposedly while they were trying to get my stock tune off it. So they had me retrieve the stock tune off the new livewire, sent me a restore file off that and I loaded that and it made no difference, still running like crap on stock tunes or custom tunes.
Put it on a Solus Pro Scanner and it said no problems. Tested fuel pressure which was stable and within specs.
The tuning company has been very willing to help but nothing they do seems to help. To try some things on my own just in case it wasn't tune related I went ahead and replaced the fuel pump, spark plugs and wires. No change.
I datalogged today now that I changed that and noticed that when the RPM's get to the range they begin cutting out, my lt fuel trim values on both drop signifigantly. They rise with the RPMs and maf counts but once it hits the 'upper limit' they drop and stay low until I let off the pedal.
I can post the datalog if need be. Just need someone to point out how to....
Appreciate any help ya'll can offer. Been dealing with this for 2 months and the car isn't drivable.
