I don't know if the tune has changed for the 2017s, but I can't imagine why they would do that. I would give DiabloSport a call and see what they say about it. I had a Trinity tuner that I used on my 2010 Vette GS and of course the tunes are free downloads if you have the device...so why not give it a try?

I downloaded all of the new tunes from the Diablosport site and it updated my device automatically once I logged in. It took some time, since it apparently updates to the most current tunes for all the vehicles supported. I took the device to my 2016 Camaro SS and ran the install program via the instructions on the handheld device. It installed flawlessly.

I took the car for a short test drive. The day was clear and sunny but the temperature was cold in the high 30s and traction was limited.

I can tell you without a doubt, the tune made a noticeable difference in acceleration. It pulled really hard up to 80 mph with distinctly improved throttle response. I didn't notice any difference in the transmission response since shifts were already firm and fast. I tried a couple of pulls to 60 but wheel spin on the smooth asphalt road was present to the point that I had to let off. It spun the tires the same thing in second gear. When it did hook up, it pulled strongly.

DiabloSport claims +15 HP and 20 +TQ

presumably to the wheels. I believe it and it feels like at least that much. The device is pricey, but you can watch carefully on any member forum and buy it some cheaper used and as long as it isn't married to a VIN, you can use it on your 2016 Camaro and tons of other cars. Give it a try. I can't wait until the track reopens in the spring. I need to get my SS into the 11s which should be easy with the new found HP. The Trinity tune on my GS was worth about 2/10s in the quarter and a couple mph.
