Was at dealer no upgrade for Tahoe rst performance parts if I Tune I heard it still stays incomputer

[Jorge1313]

I was at dealer and asked what upgrade I can get service director told me go to part to get a high performance air intake and gm will tune the computer for it . But there was no upgrade are available for rst. I was told if there was a part gm with send tune for it dealer for the part . He said it a fast Tahoe as it is but I find slow still . Wanted to do something gm part upgrade so I don’t looose warranty . Don’t want to spend a lot either . Something quick and easy .

probably the easiest thing to get some noticeable difference is a tune like blackbear @BlackBearPerf

Jorge, do the tune first. The stock airbox is plenty big already. Then get a supercharger for it.

I thought of tune defiantly but I am afraid being without warrenty. I heard between tech in the forum a while back when you tune and you take off tune to go into dealer and you go into the computer you can tell if it was tuned before . There stay somewhere in the computer that it was tuned the spec stay I don’t know where. Well need expert advice here from techs. Let see how many Chevy dealer tech in this forum will know to answer the question, does the computer in car is there a way to know that yes something was programmed before and now it normal. I heard something stay that shows it been tuned when you dig deep inside computer diagnostic.

It is a risk and you have to understand that and weigh your options. If you're wanting more performance (no matter how far you go with it), a tune is going to eventually be required to optimize what you've done. Just throwing an exhaust or intake on a vehicle without a tune won't do anything other than change the sound a bit.

If you are driving a RST, the cost of the tune is a small fraction of your window sticker. I remove my tune every time I go in for service. It’s a 2 minute process. The dealer has yet to question me about it.

Lol. Because they’ve had no reason to look. You don’t just “hook up the computer” and it yells “TUNE!!! TUNE!!!” If they ever have a reason to look (catastrophic failure, etc.) and it shows it was reprogrammed 100 times, you’re done.

Really, there's not much you can do to "tune" a naturally aspirated engine at all. The "tunes" we read about on the internet are mostly adjustments in the instructions the engine uses for fuel mixture and boost behavior on turbocharged and supercharged engines. Without getting into philosophical detail on whether that is a good idea, I would say that it's relatively easy to do through overriding OEM software settings.

You can increase the output from a naturally aspirated engine, sure, but only through major surgery. Adding a supercharger, boring the cylinders, that kind of thing. I know that the people at Black Bear would disagree, but what those guys do is more about shift points and particularly in our cars, behavior of the cylinder deactivation - all of which may provide the illusion of more power but do not actually increase the output of the engine materially.

We would be happy to help with a tune. With the AutoCal you can use it to go back to factory settings when ever you take it in for service. We do everything we can to make sure there is no trace of the tune with GM's current method of tune identification. We have had no warranty issues to date. What can happen is when they have an update for your vehicle software, we have you read out the tune files and email that to us so we can update your tune.

It’s a risk you’ll have to be willing to take. Question is, are you willing to sink in money for headers, cat deletes, cam, upper engine work, etc. If not, an air box and a muffler isn’t worth the gamble of losing your warranty. Even with all that work, what will you gain? Remember, it’s still a 7’ tall hippo. You certainly won’t beat much on the street. Just my 2cents

if you want something with a bit more power
I suggest to have gotten a 6.2 Tahoe

if you have gotten the 6.2 should have bought a model 3 the performance edition is 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds

I got the 6.2 model

see if dealership will install the callaway package?

 

[GTNator]

Wait! If you do all these performance upgrades some of them may impact fuel economy. Are you ok with that? I remember that was a major concern a while back.

he should have gotten a Tesla model 3
if he wanted power.

I got the 6.2 model

not the Corvette model

that is why I opted for the Torque Economy Package.
379 hp / 472 ft-lb gotta love those dual torque motors

Each motor is 80HP/184 ft./lb(full torque at any RPM speed), plus the ICE..

if you disable the ABS Traction control and stability control you can do burn outs etc.. with it... of course you don't want to wear out the tires/ transmission and brakes which is something you don't want to do as they are quite pricey ..

I refuse to leave my manly hood feel in a battery powered car I want something durable. Not get stuck in a hurricane and worry about floods and electrical components in Tesla I refuse to buy battery powered cars stills. I like old fashioned school technology . I like the engine feel . For what I paid I could had bought a Tesla but no no way it not reliable no one can fix em them and most time I drive 8 hours straight .And after seeing the link in forum I doubt I’d survive if I was in Tesla it a plastic car basically . I wanted something strong durable and safe my option were h1 hummer one hummer and used brinks truck I ended up with Tahoe doesn’t draw attention as a brink truck or h1 hummer does and also it very comfortable to seat people . I have nothing against Tesla I have Freind now own them they just tell me how expensive body parts are when they hit something with bumper and it comes off they really have become to hate it. Everything is overpriced plastic . Look at link below tell me if you think a Tesla suv would have survived that accident .
