Default How do I find out if my cars comp. has been tuned before I owned it.

I got the car 2nd hand and don't know if its been tuned before,it has all kinds of mods already done that I can see.I don't what to screw up the comp. if I get a tuner and plug it in just to find out that someone has already tuned the car.I know you are sopost to reflash the comp. before you use a diff. tuner but if I don't have the org. tuner how do I go about doing that.

Thanks,Tanner

If you have a very good friend with a tuner, ask him to put the stock tune back into his car and use his tuner with the performance tune and try to load it into your car. If it doesn`t accept it then your car is tuned already.
