Tune question
If I tune my camaro, then take it back to factory tune, will the dealership know it was tuned if I take it in for work?

Yes they can know. There is a flash counter they can check if they have reason to. Whether they check or not, well that's a crap shoot. Be prepared to lose your warranty.
There are many threads on this if you are interested in more information.

Yes, it is mandatory if you go in for a powertrain issue

Since you have a LFX they can tell that you have been tuned. If you had a LLT you would of been good as LLT doesn't have a flash counter.

Also on topic- When I was having ignition issues and took it to the dealer, I didn't even return to stock (with that big blue IM sitting on top why bother)- and I know they ran multiple diagnostics, etc.. They had no idea it was tuned. I had to reassure the mechanic it was OK to put my ported IM back on- he was worried it wouldn't run right since it didn't have a tune!! "Don't worry" i said, "it's in there."
