Hicksville, Oh
i have a question about saving tunes off of a library into my tuning files in the EFI Soft ware,

i know i open up, say Dmaxtuner go to his library click the tune i want so it shows me the script, i highlight the whole thing top to bottom,

i open the note pad paste it in there, then i click file save as tuning file and name it and save it right?

or do i have to click save on the notepad options? cause when i do that it saves it as a text not as a tune.

No.

You are downloading a script. Its a text file. You need to open up your stock tune and in the tune tool, run the script over your stock tune file. (the tune tool uses that text file). Then you need to save as the tune you just created from the script so you dont actually change your stock tune.

Either connect your V2 to the computer before you open the Tune Tool, or enter you registration details in the Tool Too. Help --> Register EFILive.
