Default Can I use a stock tune from...

Can I use a stock tune from a 1999 Camaro SS on my 1999 Camaro Z28 (both m6's)? Are there any differences? Will I hurt the car in any way? I don't have a stock tune from my car because I had a company Edit my car before I actually got my hands on my own software and really screwed up my tuning (ex: MAF 112% LTRMS 25% @ WOT). Just making sure I wont have any major issues with an SS tune.

You could look at it and then put in the numbers by hand. You cannot take a program from another car and put it in yours. There is a very good chance your car won't start again.

Don't load someone elses PCM program directly into yours. From what I understand, even cars of the same year have different block locations for the code.

Instead, start off with your down-loaded programs from your PCM and then copy the data in the tables that you want.
