You have to extract your stock tune and email them the file. They will build the tune for your car off of that and send you a file which you will put on the SD card and upload. I would save a copy of the stock file on your computer so that you have it is you ever need it.When you get the whipple package with their tune/ tomahawk is it already loaded onto the device or do i have to download it or get them to send it?
What's the turnaround time once i email them? Im assuming i have to wait until i recieve the tomahawk to extract the stock tune right? I have a lund tune currently and I know the stock tune is copied to that SD card I have from them.You have to extract your stock tune and email them the file.

Thank you! I have the stock tune file copied on my Lund n Gauge and on the sd card they gave me. I just don't know if that stock file is now locked because It is on the SD card lund gave me and i also have it transferred onto my pc.Sorry but that is not how it works.
Tomahawk can not download the tune in the PCM. It does not have a download tune function.
However, it will capture PCM data like the VIN, PCM serial #, PCM ID #, and DTC if any logged in the PCM. This information will be in a file called Tomahawk.REQ.
This information is needed for Whipple to build the tune to is linked to your PCM.
So the process is:
1 - attach the tomahawk and get the information.
2 - request a tune from Whipple
3 - provide the tomahawk.req file
4 - you will receive an email with a link to download the tune.
5 - download tune file on your PC
6 - put the tune file on the SDCard that comes with the tomahawk
7 - upload tune file to your car
Unfortunately your stock tune will be overwritten. If you want to keep a copy will have to use a different tool to download it Whipple does not provide this.
FWIW,

I believe taking the car to a dealer and having them re-flash it will get a stock tune back. Likely will have to pay for it and your warranty for the drive train will certainly be black listed.I've seen people remove Whipple systems and return their cars to stock. How do they re-load the stock tune? There has to be a way...
Stage 3 should be coming along soon. From what I understand, they are just finishing up some software for the live e85 sensor. It will be flex fuel so you can run premium fuel or corn fuel with no change in the tune. I would email Whipple and ask them. They will get you to the right person.so what's the time frame on the stage 3 upgrade? what would be included? would this tune allow you to drive on Flex ie 93 to E99? who do i talk to at whipple for info on this? this sounds more intriguing then PBD or Lund tune. also hows the drive mods work with the whipple tunes?
For those who have a whipple tune now and debating whether to switch to PBD/Lund to be able to run E85 or wait on the whipple stage 3rd tune ... I would wait especially since I heard Lund is no longer tuning for E85 with the BAP .
I don’t think whipple would mind me posting here but here is the update I got yesterday.
837 hp with the 3.75 pulley/E85 flex tune in 6th gear
That’s more than I made with 3.625 pulley/E85/PBD tune/7th gear .[/QUOTE
How is the drivability of the pbd tune vs. The whipple? Does the whipple tune support the 1050x injector?
