tried a few searches but no avail. currently i've somehow got the severity 11 or whatever error when trying to bring up the upload pcm/scan in my powertuner. i currently have a couple available credits from hp tuners.

is there a process of switching over my pcm from powertuner to hp tuners?
 


scan as in read the pcm an then save the file which will be hpt. then basically calibrate it to overwrite the powertuner bin?
 
Yes, you can read it right now and it will take what you have done and made it into a HPT tune.

Aslong as you arent tuner locked.

Only thing that sucks is that you have nothing to go back on, once you start reading and writing with HPT you only have the 1 file, and that file is already modded. So you couldnt go back to some other tune you made 2 weeks ago with your DHP.

I know it would sucks nuts and you likely can't but I'd start with a completely stock file and start over with HPT, but I'm not sure you could flash back to stock with your DHP.
 
Five Finger makes a good point. I remember running into this question back when I had one of my C5 vettes. Before you make the switch, I would look online and see if you can find the stock tune for your year/make/model. Check the HP Tuners site, among other places. If you can find it, download and save it and then you have a baseline to fall back on should something bad happen and you need a quick fix.
 


Freeman.. if you need all the bins in the universe, either toss Pat a message or pm me your email addy. As well.. what the guys are forgettting is you can write all the DHP tunes you want to a pcm and then read them with HPT. It just has to be done one at a time. DHP about 8 min per tune to load, HPT about 2.28 minutes to read.
 
hmm thanks guys for the info. bill i *think* i have a stock 98 gtp bin file but wouldnt i need a stock 98 gtp hpt file instead-for the hp tuners?
 
Right and hey.. if you want more stock files.. just send that email and I'll send you a link that'll give you more than you ever should need
 
Yea that's the same thing I was running into with my car. Wanted to dyno the car and have it tuned but the place only uses HP so they could read my tune current, but if I wanted to make changes later I couldn't read and change the file after.
