Alky meth kit
I have a pro charged c7 2014 stingray, put on meth kit had it tuned got it back within 1week all my clusters go to zero and I loose communication from eco and tcm. So I unhooked the meth kit ran car for about 4-5 days and it ran fine.. plugged it back in within 5 min of running it and it’s all jacked up again.. sometimes it will start sometimes it won’t sometimes it will start and no lights will come on at all and won’t even be able to move gear shifter.. then I hit the start button again and the lights come on and then I can put it in gear….also now my remote start won’t work either…. Any suggestion?

I would go and track down all your connections. That kit is basically independent of all your factory systems. Look at the ground that was used, maybe used a ground from your factory electronics and isn’t fastened well. Should really be something simple.

Don’t sweat it. I used to totally flip out when something like this would happen. If it’s an alky meth kit contact Julio at alky if you can’t figure out. He’s very helpful and answers the phone. I’m sure he’s heard of this many times before. Just don’t get frustrated with the meth and ditch it cuz it is truly a good product and beneficial to your motor. Over the years I’ve had some problems but always figure them out somehow.And you’ll learn a lot doing it yourself.

Clean the battery and cable connection
like mine, Your car is a few years old now. I’m sure they disco’d the battery when they did all this work. I bet if you buff the battery terminals and inside the cable clamps with a green scotch-brite pad, this could all go away. I had freaky tach needle jumping like all over shortly after disconnecting the battery to do some work. Wear gloves, lead is a neurotoxin.

It sounds like something is going on with the ground. I am currently installing an AF/R and boost gauge in my car right now, and there are a lot of comments on different grounds being used that could cause issues.
