With the resistor kludge, you still get the "1-4" idiot light on the dash when the skip-shift parameters are met, despite the fact you've disabled the solenoid. At least my goat has the idiot light -- I don't know if the new Camaro does. When you get the custom tune and eliminate the skip-shift programming, the idiot light will never go back on.

Of course it's kind of fun to see the idiot light, and shift into 2nd gear anyway! Take that EPA!
