Do you know who the mail-order tune is from? You can always call or email the vendor and find out for sure what you can and cannot do with your PCM.

Right just have the mail order tune adjusted otherwise youll have a worthless hypertech tune.

Re: mail tune and hypertech ?

I'm guessing here but the hypertech asks you if you want to use the tune...just hit no and go to the tire adjustment section...as long as you don't tell it to program the comp it shouldn't...I think you should be fine IMO...but I am no expert and could be wrong...

Re: mail tune and hypertech ?

Unfortunately it's quite probable that doing anything with the hypertech after getting a custom will screw it up.

It seems to work for some but not others.

Re: mail tune and hypertech ?

That is correct. Some revisions did not alter the tune and others overwrite it. Either way, it's a bad idea to combine the two.
