I can also say that Pfadt's tuning platform is able to defeat the write cycle counter and assign/replace the correct CVNs.

Seems like the only software that's behind the curve there is HPT and the like.
Sounds like personal experience. Good. Can you describe exactly how your test was done - hopefully using GM equipment to look for non GM tunes. Was it done on both handhelds that you mentioned?

I have had DS products on my last 3 rides 08 Daytona r/t, 11 392, And now on my NRB 14 z51, unless you "blow" your engine why would gm even look into your history??? its a great mod and there are some great CMR tuners out there if the "canned tune" is not your thing, or if you want to go SC or add heads or cams.... I have never had issuses in the past bringing in cars for warranty issues (none of them engine issues), I just bring it back to stock. That's just my .02$
