Electronic Power Steering System

I only get 2 modes with the way I have my car in terms of the stiffness of steering, I get sport and tour mode steering, is there any way to get a lighter and tighter steering in the wheel with an aftermarket system? It doesn’t have to be “track mode” or along those lines but is there ways I can listen and tighten it quickly in the car using another system?

I'm pretty certain there's no aftermarket solution for changing EPS calibrations right now, what you get is what you get.

What do you mean by "lighter and tighter?" EPS achieves different steering feel by changing the amount of assist the power steering motor gives, so you only really get lighter or heavier steering between the two modes. If you're looking to get more responsive steering (i.e., steering is more sensitive on-center), that's an alignment change. See the high performance supplement (can google it if you can't find it easily on the forum) for reference on what the track alignment is for the I4/V6 1LE. Basically will be a total toe of close to 0 or slightly toe out instead of the toe in you get from the factory.

At the Camaro price range and weight the steering feel is one of the best of any car. IMO

Weird, I have 4 settings for steering feel on my car. Tour, Sport, track and auto adjust based on mode selection.

As in your other thread, the answer here is the same, your best bet is to trade your car for a 1SS.

I wonder if someone could update the software on his infotainment system to that of an SS.

It isn't just that, he wants track mode and various other SS features that would require a range of module updates to something similar to V6/I4 1LE content.

Nobody does that as far as I know, not even GM would have developed such a specific calibration (because the 1LE software may not work out of the box, he doesn't have all the hardware). This is not a PC, one can't mix and match components and expect generic "OS drivers" to take care of every combination.
