Default How to tell what tuning software?

Hello all,

I recently purchased a c5 z06 with full bolt ons, cam, and tune, but no idea what tuning software was used. Is there an easy way to find this out? Any help would be appreciated.

Tuning software is a tool. Good tools don't leave a mark. During a tune, nothing is added or taken away. Just changed. What's going on in there is what's always gone on in there. The ECM is making sure the engine is running according to the parameters programmed in there. Tuning is a form of brainwashing. The thought patterns have been changed to allow a different set of characteristics to suit any mods made to the engine, or just run more efficiently as is.

The EFILIVE and HPT tools will read it, IF it's not been locked.
