Ok .... you are entitled to your opinion and it's your money but with those mods you would get the same increase with a remote tune ...like others said , it's just like doing a street tune except your tuner might me in another state

Diablo and DiablowLew, he got my C6 Headers CAI dialed in really good with just a few data logs , you can see how a remote tune with a Diablo is dialed in by using the Free CRM viewer . I had some knock retard going on at the 1st to 2nd gear shift , we richened it up tad and the car responded dramatically

Hey so we have made some changes recently that makes things a little different. We just released the MPVI 2 which does not come with credits, there's a base price for the interface and then credits are added on top. With the new update the tuner will not have to license the vin, a license will only need to be purchased when flashing the tune onto a vehicle.

If you have any questions about our product please feel free to reach out, or you can check out our website which has a ton of information. www.hptuners.com

Thank you for the update! So HPtuners will now allow tunes to be saved by tuners and sent to the owner to be flashed. That simplfies the process quite a bit!

I went with Livernois since I have their tuning on my two Ford Ecoboost trucks. I like the tune on my Grandsport; I have a Vararam CAI, Mamo TB, Mamo MSD Intake and Borla Xpipe. I will be at a crossroads with a handheld tuner as soon as I intend to install headers. I am deciding between Kooks long tube or the ARH Midlength with cats. Using my Livernois, I restore my ECU back to OEM each time I go in for service. I know about the in-depth analysis GM can do on the ECU to discover outside flashing, but I would rather not tell my dealer don't touch the ECU because it is tuned. Right now each time I make a change, my tuner can adjust my tune and send me a new file no charge. If I go the Kooks route, I have to keep the tune due to the O2 sensors. At that point, I might go with HPTuners and get the car on a dyno. I am not looking to squeeze every last horsepower out of the car; I want a nice clean tune for my bolt on. A friend just got the new HPTuners MVPI handheld I want to see how that works out.

So you can return it to stock if you need to take it in for warranty work.
