Quit screwing around and get your own software. I'd recommend it from Blackbear. He will get you a base tune and then you can tweak things from there to your liking, such as trans parameters. The locking of the PCM business is something I will no longer tolerate; the tuner does not own the vehicle.

Justin

he will have you a base tune that will be plenty good.

You can slowly learn you way thru it.

Once you learn all the little stuff about the software and you know how an engine works your good to go.
