Swapping Programs, Superchip, Dyno Tune, etc.
Hi All:
I am going to swap the intake on my 02 Z06. The story used to be that one would need a dyno tune to take full advantage of the swap in the long term since eventually the 02 would adjust to the change and end up running too rich. What is the current thinking on this issue?
Assuming the story I mentioned above is true, then I probably would plan on a dyno tune. However, I want to be able to switch back and forth between the latest stock program and the dyno program easily to be prepared for any possible emission testing problem in Arizona. (Yes, I prepare far in advance for things.). Ideally, I would like to be able to store both the dyno program and the stock program in some device--while leaving one or the other in the Z06. I am not interested in altering either program myself. Any thoughts on how to accomplish my objectives?
I know that I might be able to accomplish pretty much what I want with a Superchip programer and the supplied program. Do you have any thoughts on (1) intake installation/dyno tune versus (2) intake installation/using the program supplied with a Superchip programer.

Dont think you will have a problem with the emissions tests after your dyno tune.
Vettes tend to run much cleaner and less codes after a dyno tune, not to mentin the far better performance
