tune installed!!! wow....

all i have to say is wow. i didn't even go full throttle and thing was moving...with the traction control on!!!!

i'm very impressed and satisfied. is it worth it??? yeah,but i can really tell ya after sat. night !!!

i would rate the tune 9/10.

hrc service and tech support 10/10. hrc made me feel like they knew me and been a customer and a friend for years. this the kind of service i like. got call and emails from them. didn't have to go hunt them down and wait on an email reply. i might actually hold out for the maganaflow and wait to see bill's exhaust. if they can give us a time table!!! lol.(wink wink) i will purchase all my upgrades from hahn in the future!!!

So, Brandon are you cool with the ability to flash it back to stock for trips to the dealer? Doesnt GM have the ability to "read" back 10 tunes? I am curious about this. Ive had tunes for a few of my other cars and they are certainly worth the money IF you can put it back and not get denied warranty.

i guess they do have that ability. this motor is very strong. as far as warrenty goes,i could argue that the stock parts causes more of a problem. my plastic ic pipe would have been fine,had they put aluminum ic piping on. in your case,i would get the gm tune when available. my car is not a daily driver. i take it to shows and meets. every now and then i like to push it and want to just surprise people.

Basically, I meant that the dealer will use that reason/excuse to deny a related warranty claim. Aftermarket tune caused the problem. Especially if it was a powertrain/fuel/turbo problem. I will be trading my 08 2LT for an SS/panel/AA5? probably after the 1st of the year when it's paid off. I would love to get that tune as long as I know I can reverse it.

I totally feel you on the IC piping issue and Ive followed your threads. Doesnt seem real bright to use a plastic pipe at all. Hopefully the 09's will have all the little bugs and quirks worked out.

Unless they have changed the parameters, the tune disables traction control regardless of whether or not you push the button.

Well, I have about 4000 miles of frequent 25 psig hits and no leaks, but I am looking forward to the aluminum piping from Hahn.
