warranty work caused by incompetent work from the dealer ....rather than manufacturer issues ...are kinda different. I'm being tongue in cheek about warranties...but in all seriousness. I avoid taking the car to the dealer for anything. Then again, I voided all of the important parts of my warranties in the first half of 2016. So if i can't fix it myself, I would take it to a trusted independent mechanic who has experience with camaro's. Never a dealership.

Any change to the stock “tune” easily be discovered by a dealer. That is an absolute fact. If that worries you, do not get it tuned. Period.

I have a 2016 RS. Diff swap from 2.0T manual for 3.23's. JMS throttle controller, CAI. Borla cat back and run Trifecta.

I have had 0 issues in the 2 years since first programming. I have had 2 changes to the tune in that time. I emailed support and had a response usually in a day or so and they really help. Shot me adjusted tunes with no hassle. And believe it, my program counter didn't change.

I get a great boost in power and the car sounded meaner. I haul balls (100+) everywhere I go and still get 19/20mpg. I hit a black Friday sale to and compared to the price of competitors was to good to pass up.

I recommend them 👍

On their website they state that "The TRIFECTA flash loader and Transparency featureset does not increment the ECM write counter or increment entries in the flash history"

How did you check to see if your flash count went up?

Hauling balls and getting high double digit mileage means you're spending a lot of your time cruising still

Low double digits is where i tend to be because every single time i stop is an opportunity to go really fast for another too-short amount of time. If i'm cruising at 80mph, i'm still getting just a hair under 30mpg on level road. But my commute is like 5 miles so getting up to triple digits doesn't last long in the morning.

You know, in the hypothetical situation where i was going that fast. All hypothetical.
