Way to vague to diagnose----So many mods all at one time makes tuning a bitch
I would guess that ECS provided a handheld base tune----I would never buy a SC kit without using the manufacturers provided tune-----You tell them all your other mods and they usually always get it spot on erring on the side of rich-----I would if you didn't buy their provided tune and start over---If you tried to save $$$ and pieced your SC kit in pieces then you got what you paid for---a messed up combination----
ESC are excellent tuners for their products and cars with mods beyond their's You can't blame your tuner because you handed him a can of worms !!!!!!!!!!

We offer start up files for our kit, but it's difficult when outside mods are added like cams that I do not have the spec's for or have not tuned here.
That said, start up files are N/C when needed.
