Thats awesome news. You need to get a new computer and have it put in. Also remember to make sure they refilled the trans cooler.

At a minimum, have the current one reflashed back to stock and annotated in the work order to prevent any future issues.

TrooperDLA, glad GM replaced your engine under warranty.

That was the right thing for GM to do, particularly since the "tune" pre-dated your ownership of the car,
and it was sold by a GM dealer as a CPO unit.

Pretty easy call if you look at GM's recent history of motor replacement
