Tune/Tuner Decoding

Ok, So I have a SCT X4 (2, actually, came with the car) I figured out which one is "married" to it, however I can't figure out which tune is loaded.

I'm currently waiting to hear from Torrie to attempt to confirm they are his tunes, I have no reason to believe they aren't.

However when I look at the available tunes on the programmer, the "available" list does not match the "loaded" tune. So I'm not really sure what is loaded.

Runs like a raped ape tho, lol, this is my first time using SCT, or really any modern tuners. Only tuned vehicle I had before was an old 7.3L diesel.

Well, looks like Torrie won't be any help. He said the dark screened one "Those labels do not look my own." and the other one "Potentially if he renamed them."

So looks like I have no idea who's/what tunes I currently have.

Lack of help/interest is underwhelming. -_-

Question...when you load a tune, does it remove it from the list? Could that be why "Custom Tune - 59 KHDL1GF*" doesn't show/match the list of available tunes on the tuner???

Seems to be the first one since it has methanol tunes and your SHO has a Snow kit installed?

You have LiveLink, yes?  What does it show?
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I was actually just pulling out my (very) old laptop to see if it will run it. I use it exclusively as a scanner, so it's old kind of crappy. I've never used Live Link.

I'd appreciate it. I'm kind of wondering who's tunes are on this thing. Torrie doesn't think they are his, and where it's a 3-bar sensor I know it isn't stock. I wish I knew if setting it "back to stock" saved the file for sure.... I'm kinda afraid that it will clear the tune then not work correctly. The loaded tune doesn't show up on that X4's tune list.

Well, after talking with SCT and Torrie not really wanting to help, I said screw it and tried the tune on the other tuner. (The WM16) and I like it. No data, and no recorded spools, (I will when I can) but it feel better right off, no "pulsing" at mid range. (Wondering if I was feeling the Meth kick in in a non-meth tune?)
