Default can it be done?

My PCM was tuned by Nelson(unlocked by request) with HPTuners. I am thinking about adjusting the tune a little on my own. I have researched EFI Live and HPTuners, and I like some of the EFI Live stuff better(I think). Will I be starting all over from scratch unless I use HPTuners? There's only a few little things I want to play with, so I don't want to start all over.

As long as the operating system hasn't changed, you should be o.k. Might want to give Allen a call to make sure.

I thought that as long as the PCM wasn't locked you could tune and retune it with any kind of software? You're not changing the operating system correct? Just settings and parameters?

if nelson uses efi and you get hpt you can still tune it as long as the OS didnt change.
