I just opened an 01 camaro Z28 a4 file with hptuners & compared it against an 02 trans am a4 file & found only 5 minor differences so take that fwiw.

read the part number, but provided the same tranny/axle ratio, they may be the same.

I know the latest updates for the 2001 hawk, and 2001 Z28 I recently tuned, used the same stock file, both 3.23 A4 cars.

is the programming in the 02 ta m6 is the same as an 02 z28 m6?
same vehicle, different shells (an 02 camaro z28/ss m6 is the same drivetrain as an 02 firebird transam/ws6/firehawk m6 ... only difference is the external looks and some internal looks... firebird and camaro are the same just look different)

only difference would be tire height (and I believe they're negligable... but i'm too tired to verify)... but a 3.42 rear gear stock camaro is the same as a 3.42 rear gear transam....

why would you flashing your buddies car mess up your pcm?

are you trying to use your tuner to write to both cars? if so... I don't think that's allowed (but never used a diablo sport tuner.... you are using a predator right?)

I am sure that I am repplying too late but...
You can only tune one car with the Diablo Sport. To work on another VIN you have to have it " reflashed" by Diablosport. I think that costs $100
