LOL, I asked my salesman to bring me a receipt for 93 Octane gas if they filled it up. He was kind of insulted but he did. I'm getting tuned next week or I'd do this once in a while just to make sure.

Another great Chase thread, thanks again! I may have to wander down to Luville one of these days. I joined IndyNextGen andi think they have a caravan to your open house. IIRC, I had a conflict.

Edit: Just checked...it's this Saturday! My baby is graduating Magna Cum Laude from DePauw this weekend so no dice.

That is pretty hardcore! I bet he did look at you funny.

Yeah, there is supposed to be a pretty good sized group coming down from Indy this weekend. There will be plenty of other opportunities though.

I would assume they would use what they recommend but who knows what happens after that.

I've seen some things about a third fuse in the trunk that needs to be pulled as well on the 2013 and up. But can't find which one they are talking about. Can you help?

That has to do with the NPP dual mode exhaust. It is something totally different.

I had a question on how the knock sensors worked and got zero replies:
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=366299

Anyone know how the "knock" is registered and if extraneous sounds can trip the circuit?

How much rwhp would you gain by replacing the 15 amp fuses with 20 amp fuses? If I recall correctly, anything higher than 20 amps would require a tune.
