Default Going back to stock....tuning questions!!!!

first of all, my car was tuned with h/c and full bolt-ons. now that im taking it back to stock, will i need to have it tuned again, or is there a quick way of totally resetting the pcm back to stock tune?? jeff from carolina auto masters tuned my car with the mods. if i need a retune, should bringing the computer back to a stock tune take very long??

post up in your reginal forum to see if anyone local has HP Tuners for a 2002 F-Body

Worst case I can reflash it for you for free but you'll need to send the PCM to me. I'm sure there are some locals willing to help though

Check with some of the local repair shops or part jobbers like NAPA, CarQuest etc. Alot of shops and parts stores have passthru devices now to program/reprogram pcms. Surely someone near you can flash it back to stock.
