They have no obligation to unlock the tune for you to make changes yourself because that would reveal whatever proprietary tuning settings/tables they use. Have you tried asking them if they'd revise the tune to your expectations if you paid their re-tuning fee? Alternatively, you could purchase an Ecutek tune from someone else or purchase the Ecutek tune-it-yourself package.

I understand they have no obligations, and I have no interest in paying someone else to tune my car, when I am fully capable. I would just like to have the original tune in case something does get screwed up in the process. I also don't want to pay for even more tuning supplies when I already have an OFT and a Tactrix cable. I do appreciate the response, but the bigger point here is to open up the ECU and use the open source tools. I have spent enough money at this point and just want to use the tools I have and the knowledge available.
It is unlikely that I will be successful in unlocking the ECU. That being said, I am willing to try. Nothing would ever get done if everyone ran away when success was "unlikely"
My goal, once we have this figured out is to share what we have learned and make it available to anyone here that wants to tune their own cars. The Tactrix is a very powerful tool; it just has a very steep learning curve.
