When I took my truck to a paint shop a while back I made a valet tune that is what will always go on my truck when other people have it. It has throttle based injection limited to 45mm3 and 2400 RPM. Keeps people from joy riding and protects your tune.

If you really want to throw someone off do this to a normal tune (tow, stock trans safe, anything but stock) and then really screw up parameters above 2400RPM and 45mm3. If they are dumb enough they will think that you just TBIQ limited your big tune before you gave it to them, they'll fix the TBIQ table and try to run it.:rofl:

Brings me to a question. Can we lock a tne with EFI now? I thought we couldnt bbut I thought a recent update allowed anyone to do it? With that said, lets say i make a tune, lock it, can someone read it and it locked, or can they not even read it.

Takes a crook to beat a crook.

How many of you guys took a stock GM tune and modified it, then sent it to other EFI Live users?

Totally different. I bought a truck from GM. I can paint it a different color, make it a convertible, lift it, modify the tuning and who cares.

I can also do anything with the parts I removed which includes selling them or giving them away.

Mike is talking about someone STEALING your tune that your modyfied.
