I would think they would be fair in pricing at $1500 as it would allow them to add in additional insurance for breakage that is going to occur. Higher HP = more breakage...that's statistics speaking not whether you consider a tune damaging or not. If GM were to continue powertrain coverage with a tune, they would have to charge more than your streetcorner tuner as they have to cover breakage that the streetcorner guys doesn't.
As far as GM "getting in bed" with select tuners...I don't know if this would work as those tuners would have to have their hands tied as far as "custom" work on covered vehicles...or have GM approved and GM disapproved tunes for sale.
