I just had a thought Last Night.
I have another Tuner here that I use as a Back Up incase I run into any Problems with whatever Tuner I'm using at the Time.
Since I now have EFI, there is no need for another Tuner.
So what I was thinking...could I Set the Truck back to Stock...Load in a Tune from the "Other" Tuner, then Read it with EFI and Save it to my EFI Tune Files on my Computer? Kinda Add it to my Tune Library?

Yes you can as long as you don't sell the handheld or put the handhelds tunes on other trucks

Yep, I have a "handheld tuner" and pulled it using EFI Live - kinda how I got started and learned alot by reviewing/studying the tune and then coming up with my own to suit my driving style along with trying to improve fuel mileage. I also used it kinda as a benchmark of what I knew was safe... Come along way since then...

Thats the reason I havent ordered my EFI yet. I wanna wait so I can study the canned tunes. That annd I defintely dont wanna drive around stock. I'd go nuts.

In other threads allot of people consider it stealing and unethical.

Well considering the Long Upload & Download Time of the Tuner I have, I'm prob. not gonna do it. And anyways, repeatedly Flashing the ECU that much would prob. fry it anyways.

No problem with the ECM, they where designed to be flashed (thats coming from a very well known GM service manager of mine). Mine would be toast by now if that was the case.
