You should mention to unleashed that you plan on opening his locked tune lol
Actually if i was you i would get an LMS tune and unlock that...LMS tunes are better from what ive seen in data logs anyway so it will give you a better starting point
The consensus the vast majority of reputable tuners have come to is that the only reason to lock a tune is to hide a hack job. http://www.faceyourmanga.com/.
That is definitely not true...That is what people might think that are on the outside looking in and don't tune cars for a living...Tuning can be someone's lively hood...With late model, complex ECU's often the only way things are discovered is through seat time and experience and hundreds or thousands of reflashes...Sometimes even the software companies are no help....They offer the roads but not the road map for tuning.
Some people are just disgruntled because they can't get access to the tune so they can tinker....Go ask any of the world class tuners for an MTF or unlocked tunes and they usually won't even take 1000$
There are some that may be hiding a hack job but those are the crappy tuners
For the record, I'm not world class and tuning is not my lively hood.
On a tuning forum you may find people tossing around unprotected tunes for old platforms...And some tuning software packages don't even have the ability to lock files anyway
I've tuned every car I've owned from Honda's, Infiniti's, Nissan's, Fords, Subaru's...And I've used Hondata, Uprev, Opensource, SCT, Cobb. So I have some knowledge on many types of ECU's and Software packages.
I mean look at LMS....They won't even tell people when the cooling fans kick on let alone any thing of real importance....They have their egg, I have mine, and other tuners have theirs....Once it's out in the open then there is little need to pay for tunes
