Tunning options
I have a small budget at this time..$500. My car a brand new z51 7 speed Manual .1000 miles...I love the car. All stock...my question is which route should I go first...Diablo intune,X pipe,Cai..?? Leanings toward the Diablo but somewhat worry about the warranty issues..if something were to go wrong with car...any comments,feedback would be really helpful towards my decision...

We have the AFE Intakes in stock and are a really nice low budget upgrade.
resulted in 18 horsepower and 22 lbs. x ft. torque and outflows the factory intake by 42%.

If you're worried about warranty, I'd skip HPT and just go for Diablo. At least you'll have a fair shot at not tripping the write counter. Trifecta also claims not to affect the counter. HPT/EFI immediately trip the counter.
I've been tuning LSx platforms for years, have HPT Pro (and spent credits on this car), and still won't touch my own tuning after looking at the before/afters from a good tuner. Too much to go wrong with the E92, especially when adding real power.

For under $500, there's really not much more bang for the buck than the intune for your C7.
There is quite a bit of positive feedback here from other C7 owners, and I think you will be pleased, and no warranty concerns
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you guys for the recent comments. .I'm leaning hard towards the Diablo and in fact have into my shopping cart at a forum vendor...ready to pull the trigger. .but wanted to get a few more opinions. ..the added horsepower and the throttle booster are what I'm after with the tune...

i have the intune from my c6 but haven't put the tune on my C7 yet because of miles. I can say i was very pleased with the C6 from the intune and also went with a custom tune after a while form 06montiss. I just hit 500 miles so a few more hundred and ill use the intune on the C7...
