Tune Question
I am getting ready to do some mods , CAI, SC Pulley, Heat Ex, and Catch can. I am possibly taking it to Kraftwerk, here in Germany. They are going to do the install then give it a tune. My Question is what will I have to do so that I can maintain the original tune and the updated tune? I want to be able to go back to stock if I need to. Will I have purchase my own tuner or keep one mounted in the car.
If I need to purchase a tuner which would be recommend? DiabloSport Trinity T-1000 Tuner SCT Camaro ZL1 Handheld Programmer |

I track car so im not modding the car yet, dont want to deal with warranty issue, The diablosport trinity works well, love setting up any guage you want to see. I can tell the tune that it comes with works, car feels so much better shifting, not bad for a hand held tuner |

Isnt your warranty shot even if you use a programmer?

We have a Power Tune for the ZL1 and it's not detected so your warranty stays intact. We did Godplumber's car and it does AWESOME! He posted his Dyno results with a CAI and our IPD Power Tune on a thread here.

Do you guys put a guarantee behind that claim? Not trying to be a jerk, I have seen half a dozen or so companies say that have undetectable tunes but not a single one panned out.

Just make sure you know what they're using to upload the new tune and ask for a copy of your downloaded stock tune file. You can use that to go back if you put the stock parts back in the future. Most tuners here in AZ use HP Tuner software.
