Self Tune Question
Hi,
I'm installing a VMAX throttle body, BBK intake, and was wondering if there is a company that sells canned tunes. I know Summit Racing sells the cable for 125.00 and about 500.00 for the tune files. They have software that allows a user to plug into the car's computer with a laptop to install their tune files. This is mostly for headers. Is there anyone else that sells a tuning kit with files that are known to work? I would like to have the option of removing the tune if I decide to bring the car in for any major repairs so it doesn't void my warranty.

I was told if that the dealer has to be looking for it and that they will only see that the computer was flashed. Another dealership could have flashed it because I complained of poor gas mileage. Can u suggest a self tune.

I bought an extra PCM to use for flashes, etc. My OEM is safely tucked away. Not too much time to swap them out.
