There is a repository of tune files on the HPTuners
web site. Have you looked that over?

Yes, open your file and then go to Compare|Open Compare|Choose the new file

Go back to Compare and choose View Comparison Log

From here you can right click on a system such as Engine Idle and over write your file with just that section.

MAKE SURE YOU SAVE A COPY OF YOUR ORIGINAL FIRST
