Default EFI Live Tune Conversion?

Is there any way to take the info from an EFI live .tun file and create/convert it to something a Diablo Predator could then upload? I know it would require somebody who has access to both EFI and CMR, so this could be a shot in the dark, but I'm trying to fix my mistake.

While messing around with the Predator I unintentionally ended up flashing over a custom EFI Live tune I had made for my 2000 SS.

I have a copy of the .tun file but no way to upload it back onto the PCM, and the Predator didn't store a copy of the custom tune.

Unfortunately I kind of live in the middle of nowhere with no tuning shops around, so this would be my only option short of mailing the PCM back to the tuning shop I originally had make the tune (car is my only one, daily driver).

There's no easy way to do it, although it can be done. You'd need to flash te tune into a PCM, then read it back out using a Diablosport tool.

I would contact your original tuner, and maybe even post something on the EFIlive forum. There may be someone over there with both that's willing to help.

I gave them a call - short of mailing back my PCM there's nothing they can do. I'll try the EFIlive forum and see what they say.
