The issues have been worked out I hope lol but if they aren't that's what the warranty is for. Im just ready for some more power

It's not a given that you will need a new clutch.

Tune will run you maybe $200 to 400ish depending on who you go with. Probably closer to the low end.

Glad to hear everything is cleared up for now, and I know you don't need a clutch, but with it he can make more power out of the custom tune, also I heard around the same for the flash, I can ask my buddy who has the gms1 and see if he knows

My dealer quoted me 95 bucks to do just the flash.

Why don't you ask your local dealer how much he'll charge?

Ya my friend said install and flash was 200 so it will prolly be at least half of that, the battery question I personally unhook it when I do parts, but if you had the gms1 flash with them on your fine

yea,custom tune is 10x better than GMS1 but i just need my warranty atleast since there has been some things to go wrong. yea,i called my buddy who works at the dealership and he said he wasnt sure,he didnt know if he was going to have to call GM or something idk,not too worried about it. im sure it cant be anything to rediculous.

i hope to order GMS1 from CEDwith in the next couple weeks,its only a couple sensors and stuff so i should have it by the end of the week if i order it at the beginning/middle. not sure when to install the parts along with GMS1 since its winter here but a very mild winter (lows in the upper teens and 20s with highs of 30-40 degrees)

still havent figure it out. it makes the noise still but it is 10x quieter and not nearly as bad sounding as it sounded before. had the dealership replace the timing chains/tensioners/nuts bolts/timing chain guides. then after all of that (3 seperate trips and they kept my car for about 2 weeks each time) me and my buddy who works at the dealership were sitting there talking and he said when was the last time the oil was changed and i had changed it about a month before i brought the car in for the first time for the noise. so me and my buddy are sitting at the dealership talking and he checked the oil filter for some odd reason and the oil filter was crushed and twisted so not sure if this noise was due to the oil filter being crushed and twisted or what lol good thing i didnt have to pay for it lol
