locked computer I already had a dyno tune done at a shop thats a sponser here, so I won't mention there name, but if they locked my computer, can another tuner get into the computer and perform their own tune? Or am I stuck with having to back to the first place.
Wow, I haven't heard anything about locked computers since the pre LS1 Edit days. Ed Wright and a few others locked them back then but I don't think it's being done now. Unless you had issues why not go back to the sponsor? The problem is most tuners charge $350-500 for the initial tune and then $100-200 for subsequent tunes, so why pay the possible big upfront $ again?

^because when I walked into this place, 3 technicians were yellling at each other and throwing their tools around $50k cars in a rage. I don't personally want to go back to a place that employs childern as technicians. I'd much rather go to a different place that has already tuned cars that I built in my garage with no complaints and or problems. Sure it's about 2 more hours of trailering my car, and about 100 bucks more expensive than a re-tune at this other place. I'm just trying to figure out if I have to go back their or if this other place can tune my car.

Yes I have the ability to unlock any pcm ( be it LS1edit , HPT or Flashscan ), 98% of the time we can also recover the tune inside.
Downside is I am in OZ so you have some downtime while it gets freighted back and forth.
I am sure you would have some knowledgeable guys over there that can hack the PCM in the same way.
