VectorMotorsports introduces "Stealth" tune Afraid that the dealer may "find" your tune when going in for service? Vector Motorsports developed an undetectable unreadable/unwritable tune.

Chris said that it applies to any VMS tune now, including the LS4. Sorry. Forgot to mention that. I saw the post in the GXP/V8 section @ CGP, and didn't want to give them the credit as being my source

Good one! that site is useless for tech information. Guys are to busy thinking a mod to there car is putting on GXP symbols or putting low octane fuel and thinking there performance wont change!

Staging Lane
Wouldn't this also help from 'Vector MotorSports'?
GM Heat Soak Reduction Kit
( Vector Motorsports )
Price: $99.99
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original, Dont be fooled by cheap knock offs!
Looking for a cost effective way to beat the heat in your GM equipped vehicle? Testing has shown that once the MAF sensor housing becomes heatsoaked your intake air temperature (IAT) sensor can read up to 50 degrees hotter than the actual temperature of the air being injested by the engine. So what does this mean for your engines performance? Precious timing is being pulled due to false temperature readings which not only slows your vehicle down but can also cause a slight decrease in fuel economy. Couple this with the fact that all OEM GM IAT sensors react pretty slowly to temperature changes and you've got a real mess on your hands!
Vector Motorsports is proud to introduce our Heat Soak Reduction Kit (HSRK) that will help you get the most of your GM vehicle. The kit includes all plug and play OEM quality components with no need to splice or cut the factory harness and we've done away with those slow GM OEM temperature sensors in favor of one that we designed that responds nearly ten times faster! This has proven to not only make vehicles more consistent but also obviously faster due to the lack of timing retard being pulled from false readings such as in the staging lanes at the drag strip where a normal IAT sensor may just start to measure a change by the end of the quarter mile.
One user with the LS2 version of this kit tested it back to back on a dyno after a few pulls without the kit plugged in he plugged it back in and recovered 8 RWHP!
Q: Your sensor looks like a stock OEM old style sensor, what gives?
A: Beacuse we start with a GM OEM sensor HOUSING and then add our own proprietary sensor that reads 10X faster than stock, this translates into heat soak being reduced significantly! When you recieve your kit you'll be able to see the changes we made to the sensor.
Q: Why dont I just relocate a stock sensor?
A: Because for the most part thats just a waste of time and money, why relocate the slow sensor you already have to a different location?
Q: Isnt this the same as the Ebay resistor scam?
A: No this is a real solution to a real problem, this kit does not "trick" anyhting into thinking its colder out, it simply allows the ECM to get a better idea of what temperature the air actually is.
The GM Heat Soak Kit Fits the Following Vehicles:
LS4 W-Body IE Grand Prix GXP /Monte Carlo SS / Impala SS
G6: All Models
G8: All Models
2007+ Full Size Pickups
The GM Kit may fit your vehicle, please email us with specifica applciations and we will research them and add the application if its compatible. Also please note that the WIRING is plug and play but the installation may require drilling a small hole in the inlet or a silicone coupler on your intake if applicable.

I'm surprised they're not a sponsor here...especially considering the LS1/2 following they have...
The vector tune is proven to be one of the best "canned" tunes out there, and their service is top notch, from what I hear.
Yes, it would help a ton, considering how hot our engine bay's get.
