I won't go into detail, will just state, that is no urban myth, as a former Cobalt owner, I knew MORE THAN ONE person with tuned Cobalts get HARD parts, i'm talking transmissions, engines, turbos, you name it replaced after flashing back to stock with "this guys"'s software, which does a complete rewrite, put back the stock CPN, resets the flash counter, you name it... GM reps went over their cars with a fine tooth comb and came away with no evidence of a tune... i'm sure they know something was up... but just no proof
and guess what, it works(or worked) on the '10 Camaros as well... and he's already devising ways of combating Global A(may already have it implemented, I haven't talked to him in a few months but he's supposed to be in Bama in a couple of months)... as a former Microsoft program designer who is now retired, he is no untrained tuner... he is basically an engineer that is on the car enthusiast side of the fence, lol
but any car that uses Tech-II as its diagnostics software, yes, his tune is 110% undetectable... and could possibly be with Global A, i'm going to do some more questioning on that note
*Edit*
I edited his name out because it appears everyone on here is upset on "defrauding GM" on something they claim can't be done
and for anyone who wants to take the challenge with any of his tunes, be my guest... your GM engineer nor anyone else, will not be able to detect never tuned vs rewritten back stock
finding the company is pretty simple, just find out the one company that A LOT of turbo Cobalt guys are using, because pretty much for those cars, its Hptuners or "this company"
