Yup Will from overkill will def help you out getoverkilled.ca or v6supercharger.com either site will get you the contact info you need.

You can also tune out the AFM which I would recommend you lose a couple MPG on the highway but will open you up to exhausts that don't have the AFM modules that are only for "manuals" unless you have a manual of course.

just a note on the afm, trifecta offers you the option of switching it on and off in realtime by switching between sport and touring (sport = off, touring = on). If you like driving in sport all the time, you can switch the steering stiffness to sport for the touring mode so at least the steering is consistent regardless of what mode you're in.

So you can have it off when you want and then for the longer trips cruising on the highway, you turn it back on and get in the high 30's to 40 mpg range.

This is definitely a nice option for a tuned only car.

You can email them regarding their tune. The TCM is flashed independently of the ECU. You might be able to just flash the ECU and leave it at that.

Shouldn't really impact the AFM function of the tune. it's not like the feature is dependent on the transmission.

I dont know if i'd spend all that money on just an ecu tune without needing it for more extensive mods. The majority of the benefit in these tunes comes from fixing the factory transmission tune.

The only stock camaro that _really_ benefits from tuning is the i4. The others are very subtle.

I found only one review online so far for a 17 lgx and it was positive. I believe their chip made 11hp on the lfx. You can call them and ask for the dyno sheet. They aren't great at posting the up to date sheets on the web page but they have been around for years and their stuff works. Available at Summit and Jegs. I also believe this type of intermediary tune doesn't actually flash the ecu but you would have to confirm with them.
