I hate my AFM

Has anyone ever figured out how to disable the AFM on the 2012 SS?

a tune.. which voids your warranty..


why disable it, unless you are doing some heavy motor mods.. . it's seemless. even with exhaust I never hear it or know it's active.

To turn it off you have to tune it.

That's what I was thinking. I was driving on Daytona Beach today and it was terrible trying to drive it. It constantly was going back and forth from 4 to 8.

Tune it or use the tap shifters.

Camaro Corvette GTO Tuner in Tampa

90 percent of my clients are automatic vehicles. After my calibration, most don't feel the need to use the paddle shifter anymore because how crisp the shifts are.

nah, this is just my third vehicle with this technology

2005 Chrysler 300c 5.7L
2010 Avalanche 5.3L
2012 Camaro 6.2L


so I've learned to tune out the sound, you know same way most men tune out their wives nag nag nag nag nag nag nag...

Had SLP on the 300c, Flowmasters on the Avalanche, and now Flowmasters on the Camaro..

I know it is there, I just don't hear it or let it bother me...
