The law states: Effected part has to be caused by questionable part, ie: tune.

So if your door falls off, they can't deny your warranty because of the tune!

QFT!

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act ftw. Google it, or look it up on wiki. I think Wiki has a link at the bottom where you are sent to a law schools website and can print it off the internet. I recommend doing this in case any dealership gives you any crap. I've found it to be very useful.

They'd have to prove that the tune caused the problem.

Be careful. Canned tunes are not the best way to go.

Promise.

its all going to be the same with this much time past...
???? Really?

I have seen 07 Redline and 07 Cobalt Stage 2 tune with the rev limiter set at 7000. Did they update the tunes from the original release? Is it just the 07 tunes or all tunes?

Snap.

Well these engines don't make much more hp past 6500 rpms anyway. Peak hp comes around 6500-6600 rpms.

However it is nice to go have a raised rev limiter so when you shift to the next gear you start at a higher rpm and in a better part of the powerband.
