I installed my s/c pulley and got it Re-tuned. Took her out on the highway and shes worse then ever. the car refuses to go over 120 mph. my original tune was a eurocharged tune. i really didnt have any problems before i re-tuned it or maybe it is a coincidence. then at times the car cuts off all power. it can happen at a stop when im driving it nice or it can be at highway speeds ill floor it and nothing. i dumped over 2500 in this pos over the 3 weeks and now im just fustrated. i tried to pull codes with my handheld code reader and it wont give me any maybe do to tune or am i better off with a star. any takers or should i use the 5 dollar fix? (gallon of gas and a match)

Did you set the gap on the pulley? Slippage? of the belt, tensioner not providing proper tension on the belt.

+1. Scream at your tuner. Scream at the top of your lungs, don't get arrested but demand a fix or your money back. If that doesn't work demolish him with your muscles.
