2016 Camaro Tunes
So I figured I'd post this up as a sneak preview and to say what the future holds... No numbers or anything for now but SCTFlash has gotten their 2016 Camaro SS that they picked up this weekend tuned already. They are working on a preloaded tune for stock camaros as we speak and will be doing preloaded tunes for the supercharger kit they will offer.
As a side note, I have NOT tuned my vehicle.

So SCT getting into the Camaro stuff now, surprising news. I use SCT devices on my Mustang, with different tunes. As I would never run their canned tunes, and they are known to be pretty terrible, and in some cases dangerous (too lean). But having them come into the game is good as their handheld devices will open up the platform to more tuners as tunes can be emailed and loaded up in a few minutes...

SCT is a pretty big company so I was glad that they want to be more involved. More competition = customer wins. I will most likely be going with Diablo Lew though. He has done over 100s of LT1s already...

The main advantage to SCT getting in the game, as I said is the ability for other tuners to get involved. SCT software is easier to deal with then Diablo, and many tuners have the software to write tunes for SCT devices as they are more widespread. So you can buy the SCT handheld, not use the canned, junk SCT tune, and have another good tuner write you a tune. email to you and then you can datalog it. Not sure who I will use yet, most likely will buy an SCT handheld, and then get a true dyno tune.

There will be some sweet tuning options very shortly. Honestly hang back for a little bit & put some miles on her first. Never hearts to make sure there's nothing needing warranty before you go modding like crazy
In about 6 weeks I think you'll see tons of good options for these cars!! |

The gains aren't huge by any means, it shows that Chevy did a damn good job with their tuning. The curve just gets a bit more impressive with a protune and unleashes the vehicle just a bit more. Also, this was an automatic. Squeezing power out of auto is pain compared to manual. Manual one you can bet gains of 25hp and about 20 tq no problems. And these are to the rear wheels, not crank. |

Out of all my 7 GM cars/trucks I would NEVERTHELESS use SCT software to tune a GM.
HP Tuners and EFILive already have software for these cars. Same engine and trans as the C7s

You would say never to SCT due to the lack of experience in GM vehicles compared to the others in the market? I genuinely am just curious. |

The advantage to SCT (I wouldn't use their tunes, but I use their device on my Mustang 5.0 with Lund's tune) is their devices can be purchased as a handheld and your tuner can email you tunes, updates, and you can easily do and send datalogs. So the cost is lower, and they are more user friendly and flexible. |

I did just give diablo the oem tune from mine. So things should be speeding up on their end as well.
I am NOT a believer of canned/ots tunes, won't ever use them. Every car is different... Get it custom tuned via protune on a dyno or mail in (do some logging and get it tweaked). |
