Lots of the try before you buy flashes with a decay rate of 30 days or whatever it was used to burn up PCMs. And then even if you went to load an SCT file into the unit, you would get strange things that would pop up.

Only a blind module installation would bring it back around to normal from that state.

The Sniper stuff never really went back to stock correctly. The TS 5X was based off of that. Neither of them had full transmission control and relied on base torque management and learning capabilites of the processor. Neither were full files.

The diablosport stuff had no trans tuning capabilities. And relied off of only the first 5 characters in the PCM strategy which is a big issue. It also relies on the learning capabilities. And also retrieves the stock file. Modifies only part of it. And sends it back. They are not full files.

Edge evolution was superchips based and had no trans control. Because neither did the superchips. And they even made the same tones as an Xcal2. However since superchips only had and old version of the SCT database, they never really got everything.
