Default 2006 LS2 tune?

Does anyone know if there is a new LS2 tune for the 2006 model year?

GM powertrain makes revisions to new powertrains fairly often early in their life. You would have to check with your dealer to see if any updates are available.

If you are looking for custom tuning, there isn't a programmer/program out yet that can tune the 2006 model year ECM. I heard that it was in development, though. Maybe one of the custom tuners out there can, but I haven't seen any posts.

I bought an 05 specifically to save $10,000 AND so that I could buy LS2edit and tune myself!

I read that the LS2 Diablo Predator was supposed to be out in two weeks....and that was 4 month ago, but I'm still waiting. Its probably not as good as a dyno tune, but RWTD offers custom tunes, and I like the idea of going back to stock before heading to the dealership.

My LS2 GTO needs to rid itself of the dreaded TM!

2005 C6 will be a weird bird in that it has different PCM then the C5 has and the 2006 even a newer PCM structure so even though LS2edit is out in BETA for 2005 model it will not work on a 2006 MY and will be much tougher to crack since it is a totally different way it works for OBD-III

OBDIII is only a regulatory concept. Most politicians have admitted it doesn't have a chance in hell of actually being enacted.

Anyone know what is different in the programming on the 06 models? What and why did they change I wonder.

If its true and there's no tune for the 2006 ECM that's the best reason yet for me to keep my 2005.My z-tune was the best performance mod I've done,can't imagine driving with that intrusive TM again!

No it was passed within the highway bill that had been hold up for few years a few months back and why GM has been making changes since the 2004 C5 had twice the amount of flash memory, to what the 2006 PCM has. GM has always used the Corvette as a testbed for OBD changes.
