The reason GM doesn't do these things in the first place? Cost, big brothers demands/making concessions and so the parts guy's can make a living, jobs.
GM knows were out here doing this. That is why the internals are designed to handle 550 rear wheel HP.
And exactly what cost do you mean? If as you say it makes an engine even more reliable and more fuel efficient, I can't even tell you how much GM would spend for that.

You claim you can make and engine more fuel efficient, more powerful and more reliable than GM? Sorry, but that isn't something you can pull in the aftermarket. You grossly underestimate the millions of dollars and thousands upon thousanads of man hours GM spends to make and engine as economical as powerful and reliable as possible. And you think a "tune" improves ALL of those? Sorry, I work with too many people at GM and I know how hard they work to do this. Can't let that simply pass.
