Oh but of course it is, like who in their right mind would tune a car while under warranty and take it to the dragway

Not to get off topic but can you share where you got that decal stripe down the back, I like it.

Well I guess that rules out putting one on my car unless he does mail order. Thanks.

Im running 10.85 at 127 now.. DA from -40 to 500 also ran a 10.86 at 1680 DA but the track prep was perfect that day. 11.1 is typical in higher DA

Was just thinking a tune might be worth it if I can pick up 3 tenths overall. Though now spring is right around the corner and I may just take this season to get more seat time before changing anything.
My $0.02 is probably the same as many here. You have a new car with a good warranty. A tune will help you get more horsepower but any tune, even a Diablo canned tune, will void your engine and drivetrain warranty. You can put it back on the stock settings but they can tell if the tune was previously adjusted. Why not just work to maximize the ET’s without modifying the tune? Wheels, tires, driveshaft, weight reduction, suspension mods will help you get two tenths or more. But break a trans, a rear, a blower or even a water pump with a modified tune and it won’t be worth it unless money is no object? I truly envy the guys that go all out to run their cars but it is an expensive car.

I'm late to the party as usual, I was stock boost with pcm & tcm tuned , 3.09 & my best et is 10.24 @ -674 DA.
The tcm tune will gain more ( raising shift points ) than pcm tune , but you will need to do both together.

The warranty on the drive train is not totally lost with a tune , but it will depend on what it is of course.

Warranty? Oh.. I’m asking for a friend... and this post and all information within is strictly for entertainment purposes only.
Not the entire warranty.
