2018 Camaro LGX V6 tuning availability?

[joker75]

Is there any time frame on when the software will be available to tune the 2018 Camaro LGX V6? I noticed that the software is already available for the 2018 LT1 6.2 V8 and the LTG 2.0 I4 Turbo, and even the 2016-2017 V6, but no love for the 2018 V6, yet.

I recently purchased a GM Cold Air Intake for my Camaro, and installed it. I then took my car to the dealer, to have the ECU reflashed with GM's updated software for the CAI. Evidently GM hasn't gotten the ECU reflash software completed for the 2018 V6, either. Apparently, the GM CAI requires the MAF sensor to be rescaled to compensate for the increased air intake volume, or it will trigger CEL codes for running lean, so I ended up removing the CAI and returning it to the dealer for a refund.

With GM and HP Tuners both lacking the ability to tune the 2018 v6, I was wondering if there is something different in the 2018 ECU that is preventing the ability to reflash the ECU, or is it just that it hasn't been a high enough priority, since the I4 Turbo and V8 customers have been more inclined to purchase the tuning software for their vehicles?

Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated, as I would really like to be able to make some performance modifications to my car, and know that the only way to get the most out of any modifications, is to get it custom tuned.

The 3.6 is on the supported vehicle and can be tuned. Tuning though isn't really about "getting tunes".

You replied to a thread from 2018. Currently, our cars are very much supported (I have a 2023 3.6 Camaro). However, purchasing a HP Tuners license is for reading/editing tunes. If you just wanted to load an off-the-shelf tune from a 3rd party, you should have worked directly with the tuning company. For example, Trifecta apparently uses a proprietary software called EZ Flash to load their tunes.
