He was only worried about if it could void his warranty. They told him that if the car has to go in for warranty work to bring it back and they'll put the stock tune back on and the dealer will never know. Which I believe to be bs, as I am almost positive the camaros have a reflash memory. Fast forward, the car gets tuned and the tuner tells him since the car only has 900 miles that he can't get all the power out of the tune, and to come back for a retune once some more miles are on the car. Also the guy trades out wheel horse for crank at random when talking numbers, he had my uncle convinced he would be making 480-490 wheel horse with full exhaust and another tune.

I'm assuming he has an LS3 M6 SS?
Intake, full exhaust, and a tune are making anywhere from 400-420 rwhp depending on the dyno.
The L99 A6 SS (auto) with the same mods are making 350 - 370 rwhp.
About the warranty. This has been a huge debate in this forum. A tune (if discovered) would void the engine/power train warranty. But it all depends on the exact problem and if its related to the tune. The warranty on the unrelated parts will still be good. I get warranty work done on my 2010 Camaro and its modded and tuned. But I haven't had an tranny issues either.
