The other question is what happens if I remove the DPF from the tune and all's happy, but then the person gets a programmer such as a PPE or Predator? Will the "Canned" tuner overwrite the EFI mods and rsul in the DPF being re-enabled, or will the "Canned" tuner read what's in the ECM and only modify the fueling, tuning, booest, timing, etc as needed, leaving my EFI DPF removal modifications intact?
