Right on. No biggie. A/F shouldn't be too big of a secret though.

What about the power drop at 3800?

Finally! Someone who understands how these hand-held tuners have worked, since inception!

My car also dynoed at 550RWHP HOT, and put down 573RWHP after a 20 minute cool down.

After I installed the Halltech CAI and let it cool down, the car put down 610RWHP with the low flow filter. The high flow filter was 10RWHP less due to timing AFR being off.

Would love to purchase your tuner if a tune was specifically made for the Halltech High flow filter! I will keep my eye on this thread!

Even if there is a flash counter couldn't it just be that an owner wants to see the data on his/her car?

Will there be 91 octane tune files for many of us stuck with 'garden-hose' quality petrol?

Mike@DiabloSport

Yes, absolutely.

Mike, I've had my intune for 6 months now waiting on the Z06 tune.... quick quick I need it!!

Daisuke149

subscribed.. Halltech high flow intake + tune would be amazing.

Flyboy22

Agree. I'm in for a warranty safe tune!

Have aFe as well. I Didn't put it on, as I heard it runs to lean at WOT
I cant deny or confirm if thats true just not taking any chances!

I have always used tuners for my Vetts in past.
But now dont want to loose my warranty on this new Z06 beast!
My dealer has always stated they can detect ANY tune to the Vetts computer.

I am a little confused? I have heard of your companys claim Not loosing warranty.
Is this claim due to non detection or your product is deemed safe by GM

Thanks

Same setup I have. Waiting for the Diablo update and Lew is waiting on me!

Mike@DiabloSport

The method the dealer uses to detect aftermarket flashes does not see ours at all, no worries there.

Thanks

Im thinking I smell a group buy coming on!!

Mike...how about it??

Thanks

Guys, take this for what it is but I called my dealer (who I'm friends with) and asked about this situation. While he did agree that 'their' equipment might not catch the tune (flash), he mentioned that GM will come in with "other equipment" that can easily detect any tampering with the factory tune. They can even tell if the seat belt was buckled during a crash. Just hate to see anyone tune their car thinking that they will have absolutely no problem with warranty down the road. Tuning means risking your warranty. Period. Some might not get caught, but others definitely will. He also told me of two diesel motors with a similar situation and once the GM boys came in, they were able to figure out the computer had been tampered with. Even though the dealer couldn't detect it. Not so sure GM is going to give up a $15-$20K motor without looking into it. Just my two cents. Please don't kill the messenger. These forums are to make sure we are all informed. Just trying to help.

Hmmm!!!!

Mike???

PRE-Z06

Are you comparing this auto to manual dynos as they're not going to give the same results, one reason the auto will be lower is most don't want to spin the dyno rollers or tires to 217mph which is what 6th (1:1) tops out at so it's down in a lower gear that has more parasitic loss.

Here's how I reconcile myself with maintaining my power train warranty when buying new high performance vehicles.
I "paid to play" for factory advertised 300/500/600/etc. hp "as delivered from the factory". I love speed and know that "plenty" often isn't enough. But I bought the car for the performance promise from factory specs.
Alterations to the factory power train configuration mean it's no longer "as delivered from the factory", so I expect to be on the hook for any repair costs.
I take my chances if I choose to modify during the factory warranty period.

Even if you reflash your ECU after a breakdown (returning things to stock), my understanding is that GM will be able to evaluate the recent history (50 plus hours of past operation) of the engine performance in terms of RPMs, boost, air/fuel, timing ect. This would be like a black box on an airplane allowing one to download a wealth of data that would have preceded any mechanical breakdown. While the car will look like stock when you first bring it to the dealer, GM will be able to assess what lead to the problem and at that point decide whether they will cover the cost of replacing your engine. Chances are if they detect any prior tampering with the ECU they would be within their rights to deny your claim.

The rep from Diablo stated this is not the case?
