Yeah. Either get IPF to tune it or get a remote / dyno tune with someone that uses HPTuners, like Matt@FSP or Rhino with GPI.

from what i have heard the ghost cam is a bad idea. dyno tune would be the best way to go IMHO.

But what if you doing nos also down the road. Then you would still have to get dyno tuned again.not like a hand held.when you can't switch back an forth for just driving. I'm still learning bout the tune side. But I would rather do a dyno tune.

any info on sport mode or tuning info for v6? I know that sport mode changes rpms and shift points on an auto but what it does on a manual? I ordered hptuners, on Friday but not planning on tuning yet because of warranty, im at 30k warranty is up at 36 right?

Bumper to Bumper is 3yr/36k, but powertrain (which is what your tuning COULD void) is 5yr/100k

http://www.chevrolet.com/owners/warranty.html

I'm just waiting until the car is paid off before I actually do anything with it. Luckily I have 2 other money pits that I modify.

Chevrolet 2-Year Scheduled Maintenance
Chevrolet 2-Year Scheduled Maintenance coverage is included with the purchase or lease of new 2014 Chevrolet models.

Chevrolet 2-Year Scheduled Maintenance includes only the following:

  • 2-year/24,000-mile Scheduled Maintenance (whichever comes first; up to a total of four service events):
    • ACDelco dexos1®Oil and ACDelco Oil Filter Change (excludes Spark EV)
    • 4-wheel Tire Rotation (excludes dual rear wheel vehicles, all Corvette models and select Camaro models - ZL1 model and 1LE package cars – due to their unidirectional tires; see Owner’s Manual for details)
    • 27-Point Vehicle Inspection (MPVI)
if it does, my dealer screwed me, I asked and all they did was they gave me a printed paper (coupon) for 1 oil change with conventional oil!!
