I see people post threads such as "check out my tune" etc. Well, call me ****, crazy, or crazy for ****, but i would like to have people who know what they are talking about look over my tune to make sure everything is hunky dory with my car.
Is there a way for me to get it without having HPtuners or EFIlive, or do i need them? I have a dash-hawk, will that load it?
If not, is it possible to ask the gentleman who tuned my car to post it or send it to me?

If it drives decent, what are you worried about?

You have to have the software to pull it. You could ask your tuner for it, but most tuners don't want you posting their work for critiquing. Most tuners don't want people to know their tunes are junk, and the rest of us don't want people to know our secrets.

it drives great in my opinion, i am not worried. I am curious if my car is performing to its maximum potential. If there is anything i would change\adjust, it would be the slight (very slight) bucking i get if i cruise with the rpms real low (like 65h gear doing 40mph, prob 1100rpms), and perhaps if there was a way i could improve my gas mileage.
Otherwise, i like the way it drives. And from what i hear and have seen with other people with larger cams, it drives and behaves wonderfully.
thanks for the input Ed.

i bet. I would imagine what you said is true, that many dont want to have their POS tunes exposed. And i can totally understand people who do good tunes not wanting others seeing their "tricks fo the trade", and things they learned.
