Default Making changes to a "locked" computer

First of all,what is a locked computer and how do I get in to tune for added mods.I went to a local tuner,he said the car was a little lean but the computer was locked by Lingenfelter when I bought my magcharger kit and sent them my computer for tuning.Now I am making mods.What to do?lingenfelter guys said basically too bad.

Default had same problem

mine was "locked" from SLP. Bought a predator, and couldn't load it. Called SLP and was told we no longer do installs(Oct-04) Took it to a tuner (Chris @ East Coast Superchargers). He dyno tuned it. Anyway i think if you go to the dealer, they'll fuc* it up and flash back to stock, so u have to call a tuner and they'll be able to do it.
