I understand the concept of getting the file from an 01 or 02, however I cannot tune one of those years because I am only licensed for 00 fbody cars. Also, if I was able to find someone's car to tune, they wouldn't have hptuners so I don't know how their credits would "unlock the 2002 model year for me".
Another idea.... Suppose I started with a new(to me) hptuners... I can get a 2002 ecm from the junkyard from an 02 tahoe. Doesn't this have the same os as the 02 fbody?(12212156) If I can just drop my configurations on to that ecm, it would save a couple credits and I could sell my 00 ecm to cover the cost of the 02 tahoe ecm. It would use 2 credits for the 02 ecm and 2 for the rtt os. Correct? Any reason to get the f-body ecm over the tahoe? They have the same service # and os # as far as I can tell.

1. Find someone with an 01-02 needing tuning assistance.
2. offer said assistance and charge them at least the $100 that it costs to license their car (2credits)
3. Now use this file to flash to the PCM that you already have a license for.
Now you have an 01-02 and are one step closer to unlocking the year/model unlimited VIN since each license counts toward it as partial credits.

I never thought of this but I run the 2000 system in my car and that damn secondary VE table pisses me off like no other since I always run open loop. I tuned a 2001 408 Camaro so it never really clicked until someone mentioned I could load his newer operating system into mine. Do I need to do anything regarding the Vin#?
