I understand that most Ecutek tuners choose to lock their maps to protect their work/IP. However, many kits seem to include a base map that has presumably not been particularly optimized for any one car and is to be used as a safe starting point. Are any of these base maps provided unlocked so a tuner can avoid starting from a clean slate? If not, then what's the purpose? I know some of the early OFT tunes for the SBD turbo kit and the Vortech SC kit are out "in the wild" but are any of the other tunes provided by manufacturers such as Harrop, Edlebrock, Treadstone, Jackson, Greddy, Cosworth, etc... provided in unlocked "base map" form?

Thanks!
