Spare PCM?

I bought a spare PCM off a memeber for my 07 ss/sc so I can have that one tuned and then stick my GM stg 2 tuned PCM back in if I ever have any issues. My question is the PCM I bought was already tuned by HPTuners for 2.6 and 60's. Do I need to buy credits to retune this pcm for my car since its already been tuned or not? or do the tunes go by vin? which means I need credits?

anyone

i am almost sure the tune is based on the tuner... if u get it tuned by 1 person he has to unlock it on his computer... and by another has to unlock it on his computer... almost posative thats how it works.. but good luck

he is correct

our cars ecm is unlocked via someones personal hpt cable, and only his/her cable.

if anybody else decides to try and tune your car, they too will have to unlock your ecm.
