Damn you are a lucky SOB to be able to afford a GTO while at UCA. In fact, UCA paid me on top of tuition and fees to go to school there and all I had/still have was a 91 pickup lol.

I'm not lucky I'm blessed. No other way around it. I do work for it though, and yes, I do make my own payments.

Your car will actually run alot more efficiently with a tune, nothing to worry about. Dealerships have never been able to tell that I had a tune. The Chevy dealership seriously thinks my truck is weird because "it hasnt thrown any codes" since I took my cats off lol. I've had it in there several times!

I've got a question about tuning it though...If we were to tune it, would it be a flash tune, where I could return it to stock if I needed to take it in? Would I need a second PCM so the original one stayed stock? I don't want to take the thing to the dealership with a tune on it just incase they plug up a diag and notice it ain't right. All it would take would be one LS1-expert mechanic to void my warranty.

Negatron. You can reset it to stock tune if you save the stock tune settings to your computer via HPtuners. If its not available your other option is get another stock tune PCM.

Well hes in conway so we would just have to meet up and flash it. But other than that yes you would need a stock pcm to carry around. But as far as the tune goes, they have to prove it messed the part up on your truck that was broken. There is a federal law for that.
