Diablo tuner
so just say you got a t-1000 tuner and put a zo6 tune in a base c7 and didn't save the oem tune by accident. And now it's locked you out .Can you buy a new tuner and write over the tune or does it need to be refashed back to stock and buy new tuner to start over?

^ Yep. When a Trinity writes a tune to the vehicle, it becomes "married" to it and saves it's tune.
If, somehow, you've overwritten your saved tune and your Trinity now thinks it is not married, you'll need to call DiabloSport for assistance.

Hell I'll sell you mine, aside from the skip shift I think it's useless.

it actually starts and runs rough,just throws codes for supercharger. It's like it's unmarried now and will not let me do anything. I bought it used and the vin that it shows does not match my car

they claim 20 horsepower. Is that not the case?

But where is the 20 hp? Is it at a spot between certain rpms? That's what the euro car makers try to sell you. To get the peak HP you have to wait for the turbos to boost or the cams to kick in.
Remember what Carroll Shelby said 'horsepower is for selling cars, torque is for winning races'.

i am basically just asking if a new tuner will override a existing tune or if it needs to be flashed back to stock. I'll call tech support.
