I am not trying to rag on you 152LTRockin, just trying to help here. There are a LOT of very knowledgeable guys here when it comes to this platform and some of what you have claimed throws up some red flags. This car also tends to bring out the ALPHA in some of us, so there are more than a few of us that have no issue 'Telling it like it is', even if it isn't.
Let me say this though...This site is an absolutely invaluable resource and making friends here will only benefit you when it comes to this car. Just keep that in mind. Also, there is an ignore feature if you decide to use it.
I have nothing to gain or lose with this, so I have no issue with just chalking this up to you just being a positive guy that is absolutely thrilled with his new ride.

Tuner says the way its tuned it will be ok using low octane fuel but if I use premium it will slowly adapt to that. He told me its constantly trying to add timing and adapts to what fuel you are using. I can tell its pulling ALOT of timing at times because it just falls dead on its face when its hot weather in traffic tipping in. From a dead stop it doesn't seem to do it as bad but you can feel its slowly adding timing. I'm not new to this stuff but I am a complete virgin to these Gen5 Camaros. I appreciate your posts.
This is my 1st direct injected engine so I have no idea what to expect. The throttle response on this car is truly amazing when its cool outside. I should hook up my scanner and look at the timing, knock retard etc but I've been very busy and she wants her car everyday. I wanted to take pictures dew days ago and the dam batteries in both cameras were dead AND she bought the cheapest Rayocrap batteries that for some reason the cameras refuse to turn on with them installed.
If you guys think I'm running you all sorry, I'm not. I owned a fire breathing 55 Chevy with big block out of 70ss Chevelle LS6 close ratio 4 speed with 4:11's. As nasty azz crazy all out tire fryin upside nuts that 55 was this Camaro would eat it alive 0-75.....sorry but its the truth. If you don't believe me TOO BAD!
