Default Overseas and need a tuning hand

Im stationed in England and I am about to deploy. I need someone to program my PCM for me. I have HP tuners but I want to use it for the fine tuning instead of going thru the hassle of tuning from scratch. Im doing it this way because I get back in the winter and I wont have the luxury of drving the car around to tune it. THe motor is in my garage now and the car is else where. When I put everything together I dont want to have any issues of the motor not wanting to run and **** like that.

If the tuner tunes my pcm with another program other then HP tuners will I be able to use my HP tuners to change **** around if I have to?

Whos a good tuner out there?

You could load a different tune with efi live and still change it with HP Tuners.

If your car is tuned with something other then HP tuners, your not going to be able to "change things around" with your HP tuners, you are gonna have to start fresh, different tuning suites dont interact with each other.

as long as the pcm doesn't get locked and a custom os from efi live doesnt' get flashed it can be read from any tuning software/program

Depending on your mods, you can download a hptuners .bin file from their tune repository.. and then fine tune it from there!
