When you talk about Corvette tuners, there's Chuck and there's all others. Chuck polishes your car's performance with a careful, conservative, intelligent tune. He focuses on smoothness and driveability, not ultimate neck-snapping tire-smoking quarter-mile performance. Warranty discussions abound on this forum, but thus far I haven't seen a single report -- let alone a documented one -- of a Corvette damaged by a Chuck/CoW tune in any way. He pretty much insists on a 160 degree thermostat (a modern one, not a cheapie), and he recommends installing a Vararam. I elected to go without the Vararam because it would conflict with a removable front license plate bracket.
Talk to Chuck's customers. Talk to him. Better yet, go on the web and research the use of computers to control and manage automotive engines. Be an informed customer **BEFORE** taking your car to Chuck. That should put your mind at ease.
For the record, I have a Chuck/CoW tune on my 07 A6. I love it and would never go back to the stock tune.

I have SLP catback and ordered a Vararam this past week. I,
like SFLNGE17 am thinking about a tune also (05 M6 ) what does the 160 thermostst do for performance, and how much would that cost and last but not least, the dealer has no problem with catback and intake, but would they know if a thermostat was replaced and what are the warranty implications???
