The 3.8 V6 ECM in the 4th Gen F-bodies had no issues being tuned, but still, very few people modified them.

For the comment on needing OEM/Tier 1 support for DI tuning, I agree. Luckily we fit in that requirement, so we will be able to ensure a proper calibration once the ECM is cracked. All of the 2011+ F150, and all other 2013+ Ecoboost Ford vehicles us a Bosch ECM that people said would be untunable, yet we were able to tune a 2013 SHO within a month of them being on the market, and had perfected our tune within 3 more weeks after that.
I suggest you do more homework as the C7 uses the Siemans PCM from Europe, not Bosch and it has been used for 3 years over there and not one person has cracked it, nor how the PCM has to connect and exchange protocol client to server
It so bad that owners of performance cars in Europe are forced to change to different PCMs and remove engine functions that older PCMs were not designed for.

Add other functions are now in other controllers even if PCM was cracked they still would not be able to do proper tuning without touching other controllers.

Lots of hype on doing C7 mods when hackers have no clue on how GM designed all the coding for DOD, VVT, DI, or even rev matching so its a bet that IF PCM was hacked there will be lots of LT1s blown up as was seen when the E38 and E67s PCM were used in later C6s much less understanding either the E92 or E95 PCMs.

It would be foolish for anyone buying a C7 now hack the car up and GM yank all warranty as new PCM is sure to report via Onstar if PCM has been hacked.
