yes, you will just do a full write instead of a calibration only write... Is your tune unlocked? Because if it is locked you will either have to have the tuner unlock it or get another PCM...

then you gotta get a new PCM... And then do a full write... Or buy a new PCM from Justin with a tune loaded on it... Justin can provide all of that, PCM, Tune, and EFI Live..
