On my ZL1 which is so easy to gain 100+ horses with tune/pulley has Chevy voiding power train warranty if tuned.

Thoughts?

I have and keep on tuning all of my cars (mainly Benzes)... I have several mod friendly dealers who know the "ins and outs" but there isn't a blanket bulletin from Benz looking to crack down like one "might" hear from lets say .... Audi.

I was just getting my rear diff oil done the other day and told my guy no "reflash" and he was very accommodating. He did say they had car come in which had a tune and the cylinder was misfiring due to plug gap and they covered all the issues. So I have zero worries about it but I do understand the phrase "pay to play"

The simple intermediate tune says bye bye to most cars on the road. Xytper aka Eric who I have met and is well known in the OC area simply took an intermediate Renntech tune and mixed it with 91/100 gas and no other mods and ran 11.04 at 130.xxx This is why the MCT is necessary and with a tune it really makes the shifts move more rapidly. Benz's ECU's are much easier to crack or Benz just doesn't worry as much. No way a M5 or Porsche can handle the tq with the heavier tunes let alone the intermediate ones that push 700 lb/ft of tq.

Your win sounds about right over an AWD S car from a roll... (your rear at his nose plus a few) I ran one in my V10 R8 and it was similar.

Please get a vid next time!!!! Was it a friendly planned event or was it random?
