Good luck... i know it can be tough....

the v6 community has always been active. even within the first year.

i mean, the mustang v6 community doesn't have a problem with boost and tunes. so i know it has nothing to do with more money in the v8 market.

it is 100% the Bosch ECM that is inside the v6.

another reason i know it's the ecm, is that there have been quite a few companies that come forward and want v6's for R&D, but they never finish. why start something you can't finish? because they couldn't tune it.

i supposed they COULD do something like that, but i doubt they do it every time there is a blown motor.

plus, GM knows there are a lot of custom vette's, and v8's in general. Not a lot of tuned 5th gen v6's out there, so they probably don't even worry about it as much.
