One other thing for those that may take my comments out of context.

I am very happy with my tune and the awesome service (not to mention patience) I have received from Torrie.

Data degradation.

All datalogs thus far have been unable to provide the info needed to tweak my tune.

I like my tune but I am not at all happy with the SCT hardware or software.

Too bad there aren't better choices.

Im sure that I am not the only one that is curious as to what is the basis for you not liking the X4 or the software .
We , most of us agree that Torries service and Tunes are GREAT ...
^^^^X2...just trying to determine on if I want to spend the money on dyno tune or the ability to tweak...nothing here would deter me from recommending unleashed and LMS as top 2

I don't think there's anything going on we can't work through.

Hopefully we can use my experiences to help others going forward.

Nothings perfect. The info from you and the post will be helping countless I imagine though.

One thing that is super nice about the livewire TS is that it will log on the device with out a laptop.. and does so with out any issues so far.

 So what custom PID setup would be better to use than the stock setting from the livewire i have been sending you torrie.

Supernoob question...

Do I just flash on top of the current tune or do I have to go back to stock then load the new one?

Flash what program you intend to flash.
