Switching ECU tuner

I have a tune via obd. If I want to switch to a different company tune, do I have to flash back to stock? I know I should be asking the new tuner but I thought I'd ask. I want a more aggressive tune but I'm not sure who to switch to.

While i havent done this on my 996, on other cars i have done this with you shouldnt have to. The new tune should replace the existing one. You may want to back-up the current tune. What tune are you going with? I'm current looking for an obd based tune.

I currently have a GIAC tune. I'm looking for an aggressive tune that can utilize higher octane and more aggressive timing/throttle. I'm not sure who offers a local dyno tune specific to my bolt-ons.

Are you looking to race this car exclusively? Or is this simply for street driving? We have much more aggressive offerings for track only cars as we done tons of testing on the race cars we used to support. What octane are you looking to run?

Street car but looking for an aggressive tune. I didn't realize you had other tunes. I probably have all the bolt on's I cound find. Intake/crank pulley/plenum/headers/200 cells/going back to straight through mufflers/thinking of adding 76.4mm TB also. Always minimum 94 octane. It's a drive by cable car though and flashed via OBD through one of your dealers AWE.
