No info yet, but they are saying a big announcement is coming at 10am CST 6-20-23

And it seems to be C8 and possibly Cadillac related.

The rumor is that they’ve cracked the C8 and Cadillac ECUs and will have tuning available. How it’ll work or availability are up in the air. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Honestly I just want to be able to disable AFM lol.

If they have in fact found a way to "tune" the ECM and TCM, that would be epic!

Has anyone spoken to them to determine 100% if C8 TCM is included? I've heard it's just the ECM for C8s... I couldn't find specifics on their site. The promo stuff makes it appear TCM too, but it's not clear.

Nevermind..

Default If they made a GS...

If they came out with a GS I'd probably skip my Z06 order and get a GS/FI.

Hopefully this opens the market a bit and lowers pricing.

I am sure its proprietary, but I'd love to know the basic method...if they got a hold of the encryption keys then it's not a giant deal for GM to change them rendering it useless.

Lol I hate videos like this. Someone mashing the pedal and woohooing for 2 minutes is pointless. Won't be soon I'm guessing, but direct comparisons with piggyback vs ecu tuned cars or just any numbers at all would be nice. The reactions to the cars were no different from reactions on any other TT C8.

I'm just providing info as it comes out. Some people will enjoy the video to see how the tuned twin turbo C8 drives. I learned it shifted pretty well, It trapped about 121MPH without using launch control and something was leaking from doing 3 laps on the road course.

Only thing I learned from that video is the transmission seems to be slipping in both the C8 and Cadi. I am curious to know if this C8 is running upgraded clutches? Also a deeper dive into what @NoOne mentioned. As far as I know Trifecta tunes have not been bricked by GM as of yet. I am curious though if the EPA said hey put a stop to this can GM OTA brick them or tell dealers to do it on service? This cars has me so annoyed lately.

They didn't do anything with the clutch according to the info listed on their site. Paragon Performance said "Parts of the TCM can be controlled by the ECU. Allowing the trans to hold more torque in boosted applications." So potentially increased clamping pressure with the tuned ECM (Which is great for some people that were contemplating using the Dodson Pressure Tuning Box)
