Not sure about the transmission (TCM) and fuel system control modules (FSCM), I had to buy extra credits for those plus get the TCM unlocked for $$$, but you should be in luck, the 2016 wasn't yet encrypted, only 2017+ cars are. Regardless, given that you can always buy more credits if needed, this should be okay for a start.

I am not a tuner, by the way, and if this is indeed the first time you are attempting to tune a Gen V car, make sure you do some research, this is complicated business. Goat Rope Garage has a great video series for beginners at tuning101.com, look for his HP Tuners tutorial series.
