You should be able to read it from the car's PCM. But not straight from the file. A least that is how it works with HP Tuner.

I want to load the Predator tune into the PCM and download it into LS1 Edit and see what changes Predator uses in their tune.

I have done this with HPTuners. Predator is not doing
anything sophisticated, just diddling a very few settings.
There is no locking or anything like that.

I loaded the Predator tune and read it with LS1 Edit.
Differences are minimal - most changes in torque management and transmission calibration.
Fuel was changed in the 'power enrichment vs RPM' table.
Ignition was changed in the 'high octane spark advance' table.
