Re-flashing the computer
Do people ever re-flash the C6 computer for M.P G. instead of power? Or is it not worth it?

Not that I've ever heard of - what software would people use?

And any reprogramming will void your nice powertrain warranty.

Yes, any mods to the tuning will void the warranty and more importantly, the 5yr/100k warranty. Think carefully before modding.
