Bill, I have a 2005 C6 (6 speed mnl, Z51)....just completed following mods:
Kooks long tubes, XO and hi-flow cats
Corsa sports
Vararam with TB spacer
Ported intake & TB (FAST is next)
160 thermostat
Ignition upgrades
Gears coming
A few more planned
I am seriously considering the HP Tuner Product, but have a concern.....
Here's the situation:
Originally I bought that other manufacturer's "blue handheld tool" to modify the tune accordingly. To say the least, I had some issues and have requested an RMA to return the unit.
In summary - here's my concern....
-When I connected the other manufacturer's tool to the OBD-II port and went to "Performance Tune" it displayed; "12605740 - part number not found in vehicle database".
-Spoke to their Tech Support guy and was told I had an "unsupported earlier version" factory program and would have to have the dealer reflash to the latest revision.
-Like a dope, I took the car to the dealer (used the battery run-down complaint) and had the reflash done.
-When I returned home, I connected the "blue tool" again and got the same message....was not a happy camper.
-I've already requested an RMA to send this "tool" back
IMO - if a manufacturer says the tool will work on the 2005 C6 LS2, it should. I shouldn't have to be negotiating with the dealership to perform flash upgrades on a car that has performed flawlessly since the day I bought it.
Bottom line:
1) Is this "unsupported earlier version" thing going to be a problem with the HP Tuner product as well?
2) Will I be able to restore my factory tune for dealer servicing?
The car only has 11,600 miles on it, still has 8 months left on the factory warranty, and I'm certain I've already raised the dealer's curiosity.
Your thoughts???
