By downloading the tune it would be the users responsibility to look over the timing tables etc. to make sure they are compatible with their setup.

In other words, dont just upload a tune to your PCM and go try it out. Take a look at it and see whats been changed, thats part of the learning experience anyhow.

I'd like to see something like this. Good idea, Derek. I think Scott didn't mean malicious, but what you said. And that was, don't just upload a tune & try it out. True, it's part of learning.

Many, myself included, have no/ little tuning experience. So if a stock file is included, 1 can view the changes for themselves. If needed, they can pm one another. I always like the try 1 change 1st approach, than change 5 things & wonder which single change truly helped. I could be wrong, but it may be on vehicles w/ PCMs, that 1 change to a particular parameter necessitates a change elsewhere. So therefore, 1 change @ a time in the PCM might not always be possible.

i was thinking the same thing the other day, i think it would be nice to have something similar to what DP has, like stated, not every tune will work but a common H/C tune might help someone in the right direction for their H/C ..
