None of this has anything to do with the topic. He wants to know if the dealer can see it, NOTHING about what tune is better....

 

Dont make me go all Rodney King on everyone and ask cant we all get along, lol. I want a safe tune thats the most bang for the buck and has a good chance of not being discovered. I wont be doing my own tuning, as I like my motor with all 4 pistons intact.

 

lol love it

 

then trifecta or hptuners. as far as any tune is concerned, if it's not stock or GM stage one, then consider warranty bye bye (even ppl stock are having warranty issues - so what good is it). GM CAN find the tune if they WANT to. THe thing is, most techs are too stupid to even hook it up to your car.

You choose.

 

I had a MS3 previous to this, and Mazda was voiding warranties all over the place, stock ones too. And that car is blowing rods through blocks in pretty big numbers.

Maybe I will just save my pennies and ask Santa.....next year.....for S1 and not worry about voiding anything.

 

If you blow a rod threw the block with stage 1 ........9 times out of 10 your gunna be screwed with the warranty anyways . Did you see the **** Marin went threw to get his stock LNF replaced?

 

I can help you.

 

^^^ coming from the most aggressive tuner on this site



Jk Term I have heard great things about your tunes

 

No...I didnt. Only had my car since last Wednesday, so very newb to the Cobalt world. Im going to ask my dealer tomorrow when I bring my car in to have my alumeeeum pedals installed.

 

Question about swapping ecu's....

If you are running a tuned ecu, and you have some sort of failure, won't all of the logged data be written to that ecu? Now when you bring your car to the dealer with the non tuned ecu and it has no "event data", isn't that suspicious?

 

recorded on BCM. No worries about ecu swappage. If the code is present, it will reappear on the other ecu.

 

The big problem that i could see happening is if you damage the car enough to where It won't start and throw your spare pcm in ......It's not going to have any codes set . When you swap Pcm's you would have to be able to run the car a liitle to get the monitor to set.

One other thing that people rarely talk about is that the PCM has a serial number on it that you can see on the car's build page in GMvis . So if for some reason you tuned your original and decided to buy a clean spare......the SN numbers won't match up. It would only take a good tech 30 seconds to check that. Moral of the story is never tune the original.....only the spare. OR ..............

PAY TO PLAY.

 

And this is still all assuming they actually cover the car anyway for whatever damage.

 

Yep lol........the stealerships aren't going to just drop a motor into your car without a fight .....stock or otherwise.

 

True story! lol

 

just curious, if you install the superchips tune, and then later flash it back to stock
yourself how do they know the car was tuned? it is your original stock tune you are
putting back right? so how does that work?

 

CVN#'s won't match which is changed when you tune it.

 

you can buy superchips the regular one. you dont need the cortex i never use any of that crap lol

the regular one is 339$ take 10% off of that and free shippin at autoanything(dot)com

thats where i bought mines. ive been to the dealer for repairs about 5 times. i reflash to stock and have warranty work done. NEVER been told anything.
superchips isnt gona blow your **** up its a baby tune lol but you still feel the difference just after a while youll want something with more dyno butt power
