You'll have to buy Minotaur at this point but the demo version only comes with a calibration and definition file for an early Mustang. Also, Hydraflash calibrations are encrypted and will not work in Minotaur anyway; you HAVE to start with an unencrypted calibration file (.bin typically) in the correct file size. This means that you can't take any Hydraflash library calibrations or calibrations from any other vendor that are encrypted (end in .hcf) and open them to look at them or modify them. It's the reason the Hydra is so popular with other tuning companies.....it keeps piracy of intellectual property under control.

When you do get the software up and running this video should get you closer to your goal. When you buy Minotaur from PHP, it will come with some unencrypted calibrations that will get you started.
