Default Need help tuning with efilive using a .hpt file

Im not very good with computers and even worse at tuning a pcm with one. Just like the title says, i have a .hpt file that C.A.T.S will not load and im clueless on how to get EFIlive to load it. EFIlive won't even read the pcm or take the vin#, im sure its something im doing wrong

Any help would be priceless(still searching....)

efi live, hptuners, and c.a.t.s. all use a different file format and you cant use files from one format with another software

Actully you can normally interchange the files between the programs as long as you extract it from the PCM as a bin file. I have Ytied this with HPtuners, EfiLive, and Tuner Cat, and they will all open the same extracted BIN file.

Not that I know of, if you can get it in to the PCM, you can get it back out with TC as a BIN by using the Test switch

I didn't get the file installed, but i did some poking around in EFIlive and got the few Mil's turned off that kept popping up.

My first tune job
