Default Help: New Saleen owner and new to this forum!

Hello everyone I'm a new owner of a 2006 Saleen s281 SC. Bought the car a couple days ago And I Didn't relise the car had issues.

Has new motor with 700 miles 5 months ago and rebuilt supercharged
Has Saleen bigger air box blue 39lbs injectors and a sct x3 hand held tunner
Not sure what's wrong with the car but around 3to5k rpm the car lags/ loses HP.
I tryed reinstalling the sct tunner dissent work also tryed going back to stock tune and that wouldn't work as well. SCT Help line said the pcm might have been reset to original tune.

Please ask me any questions that might help to diagnostics this problem.

Does it do it under hard acceleration & normal driving? My first thought is to check the fuel pressure.

Not sure about the lag or loss of power but I do know you want put some serious research in the tune. You could damage your new engine with a bad tune. They are very important with the SC applications.
