Same tune whether you go direct or through a dealer, Vince does all the tunes.
Define "completely safe" ....... You should have no issues with the tune, but it may void the drivetrain warranty. If something else happens where you need the warranty GM won't cover it and blame the tune. If you are past warranty I'd say have at it.

So "the same" means you will get a custom mod for YOUR car written by Vince no matter who you go through initially...... At least this has been my experience. I think a lot of dealers do the flash with their own cable and laptop, but the tune always comes from Vince. In my case my dealer was on the other side of the country (almost) so had very little involvement.

By "the same" I mean when I went through a dealer, he gathered the information about my car and sent that to Vince. Vince contacted me, wrote the tune specifically for my car/mods/driving style, and Vince then sent me the tune..... After the flash I did several data logs which I sent to Vince, he made changes and I re-flashed several times until both Vince and I were satisfied..... The cable I bought through my dealer was actually shipped directly from Vince. The only thing the dealer did was set up the initial contact and gather the information.

Yes, each and every tune comes from Vince. I chose when I was a Dealer to provide the most savings to everyone. And that came as a savings of Close to $100 per tune on the SS. I provided the cable at no charge to my customers. Some customers purchased one. It became unfortunate that more chose to order direct and that closes businesses. Sorry for my thoughts, but as they say Business is Business.
