Default anyone familar with sctflash scanner program?

my brother just bought a 02 z28, the guy wil just bought it from had it tuned with sctflash scanner which he gave us, i think its garbage thats why we setup a appointment for next month to have it actually tuned, so in the meantime was wondering if someone could help me put the right tune in this flash so he can drive it around a bit, the previous owner said he let some ford guys tune it which is a big red flag for me, anyways if u can help me let me know thanks

no trust me it needs to be looked at, it will randomly cut off on idle, and its not idling right, like if your rev it up it wants to cut off trying to idle back down

Open your throttle plate a bit and add some timing at idle.

Opening the throttle plate takes tools and your hands on it.

Go to SCT Flash and see if they have some online instructions broham.
