Thanks for this info, after jlaudio posted I may just forget the idea. A credit to write a tune every time is kinda crazy. $50 bucks to test after spending $400 is wild.

To answer your question, buy hptuners mpvi 3, buy the credits and license the vehicle. You can pull the current tune off of it and then try to make changes at your own risk or pay someone to change it. It's anybody's guess how it's currently tuned though and if there would be anything to be had by changing it.

Appreciate the insight on this. Are all tuners like this? $50 bucks a credit to write a tune to the car seems kinda wild to me. Any other tuners come to mind that you would recommend?
