I have a completely stock v6 setup still. My best 0-60 on the 20" rs tires is 5.6 seconds but that's using the in-dash timer so it was from idle. Not expecting much performance increase but the most noticeable and beneficial change was the fixing of the throttle deadzone when initially pressing the accelerator from a stop.

Very pleased with it and the service that I experienced so far.

Awesome I hope they continue this I was on the fence with getting a tune in my 2011 2LS was leaning towards trifecta then all a sudden you could only buy their tune through BNR and even then you were lucky to get any support so I went tuneless.

I'm just coming back to the Camaro from years over on the Ford side. It is completely normal to get mail order tunes with coyotes. Most are right on the money with simple bolt ons. I've used a few different tuners. I have an sct x3 and the new hptuners ngauge. If tuners stepped up their game over here they would open a whole new market. The ford tuners have it down to a science. Place your order and list your mods and the they email you the tune. Transfer it to the handheld and put the tune in. done. It's that simple. The Chevy tuners need to understand how this works and get on it. My new 2017 SS is begging for mods and if they won't do it when I'm ready I'll buy hptuners again and tune it myself like the old days I guess.

There are a couple vendors already doing that.

You could also put it on a dyno and get it tuned, these email tunes don't account for your weather, altitude, and variances in every car. Not saying they aren't a good choice, but make friends with your local dyno shop.

Yes Sir I offer Custom Email tunes via the SCT X4 and have developed my tuning on my shop 2016 Camaro and others we have tuned on the dyno.

All custom tunes we do leave all the factory compensation tables in place so they do work under any conditions, this statement in bold is an internet Myth.

Tuning comes down to experience not weather a guy owns a dyno, Give a man a hammer doesn't make him a carpenter.

Logging will find any variance in the car or the set up.

I fix many so called dyno tunes on a regular basis, Dynos are used for WOT tuning which is the Easiest part of the tune.

We start from starting the engine and work our way up through Idle, light, med, and full throttle LAST.

Thank you
Ted.

Agreed!!!!

Absolutely nothing wrong with mail in tunes anymore. It comes down to experience, time and effort spent on it. It just takes a little time to get the logs, sent back and forth with some testing to get it all done whereas on the dyno, it's all done after X hours straight.

It's all about the person doing the tune. Not how or where.

OK so I'm sure by now Chevy has put wide band 02s in these cars like the ford's. Unless something is way off they can compensate for many variables. It not that the tune has no way of accounting for those differences. Same tune should work in Florida to California. Maybe a slight revision for Colorado lol

No they have not they are still narrow band.

The factory calibration is the same no matter the region of USA because of all the compensation tables.

Same goes for my custom tunes.

Other countries have different emission laws and there are some slight differences for export cars.

Don't plan on modding any 2017's anytime soon. Just plugged HP tuners into a 50th 17. Won't Read. Worked with support, and unfortunately they couldnt crack it. Same E92 computer, different software. Was told by support that there is no eta of when or if they will get around to it. Not sure what sct or efi live will do.

Yep. Have to get the word out. Modding past 2016 has come to an unfortunate end. I reckon you could put the PCM from a 2016 in your 17. Lol

Yeah I came here to get word out. Hoping they get it fixed. Was sad when we couldn't get it to work. I'm sure it will happen down the line. The 17 MY is just so new. I'm now curious like you to see what differences in the tune file there is between 16 and 17.

Lol Chevy still using narrow band 02s. That's bs with the cost of these cars. Fords had dual wide bands since 2011. My 2017 won't get tuned for awhile and if they don't figure it out in a year then it's time to think about my next trade in hahaha.

JANNETTYRACING · 08-03-2016, 02:09 PM

No worries, it always takes the aftermarket a while to crack the code and gain access to these cars it happens every year unless there are no changes for a few years on a model.

THE 2016 SS already comes with a tune as in -TRACK MODE-. Risking a loss of warantee and engine stress to gain 15HP is kind of silly. What mode do these tunes work on? touring?, sport? track? never mentioned.

I once tried to tune my 2016 Stingray and lost 3 working modes. Only sport worked and the car drove worse. Unless you are ripping out major parts on a brand new 40-60K car then a tune doesnt makes sense - more so because you will be throwing off engine codes and need a tune to correct them.

Ive modded and tuned 8 major brand sports cars 2012-2016 - every year the tunes produce less and less benefit on a stock setup. Its quickly becoming a zero sum gain. Rather keep my cars integrity intact and give up the 10 - 15 extra horse I cant really feel.
