$400 or $500 and you have voided your power train warranty.
If you don't need or want more power but want more throttle response this is the best option.

I guess I missed the part in your last post about the warranty. Oh yea, cause that was not mentioned.

But yes, if you hell bent on keeping your warranty then a TBC is your best option. For me a tune 6 months after I got my car was my best option. If something breaks I'll build it bigger and better. Screw the warranty!

I'm still getting a tune once my exhaust gets installed, this is still fun none the less.

Don't have one, hadn't even heard of it til a couple weeks ago. I may get one in the spring to play around with.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly how it functions, is it increasing the ratio of the throttle pedal? Seems everywhere I look people are talking about them like its some sort of pixie dust or magic bean, I'd like to know the actual workings of it before I plug one into my car.

We've discussed this on a different Thread:

There is No Tune that can give you the same Throttle response you get with our Controller. All ECUs have a limit of how much Throttle response you can increase.

The Tune does not give you the possibility to change and choose the appropriate Throttle response you need, depending on how much HP you have / tires / road condition...

The Controller will not void your Warranty.

Pretty much what I said above.

Either way IMO the TBC is a must have.

How is it possible that it won't void the warranty? Wouldn't faster power response be harsher on pretty much all the driveline components, especially clutch, Ujoints and axles?

Because nothing is stored in the ECM.

So you're saying it DOES void the warranty, but if you remove it before taking it to a dealer, they have no way of knowing?

That's kinda different than "The Controller will not void your Warranty."

Something as simple as not having your oil change done at the dealer can potentially void your warranty.

The dealer either way has to prove that whatever they claim voided the warranty had the deciding factor on the failure.

Actually your first statement isn't true at all, Not changing your oil will void your warranty, but you're not required to have the dealer do it.


The second point is right, they have to prove it, but like I said, Wouldn't faster power response be added wear to all driveline components? How can they make the claim that it will not void the warranty?

My 1st point is correct. They (GM) can say it was done with the wrong oil (not Dexos), done wrong, or not done in a timely manner.

Of course this is it likely but still possible. That's all I'm saying

Yes You're required to do the proper maintenance on the car (including the recommended fluid type and intervals) but they can't require you to have it done at a dealership. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act specifically spells that out. Its illegal for a dealership to even tell people they'll void their warranty for doing their own service. http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles...ne-maintenance

i work at a dealer (not chevy but cant imagine they are much different in this area ) if you have a engine issues, they will ask for receipts, you dont have to change oil at the dealer, but if it needs a special type of oil, im not sure what dexos actually is but i can say, honda has a certain trans fluid that if they test a warranty replacement and it has generic fluid, they will debit the claim, and as far as having to prove the lack of oil changes, not hard at all. the inside will be nasty and be burnt looking. i looked into a head today on a semi high millage veh and the head still looked fairly clean, and i have seen plenty that havea black stain
