Thanks.
The dealer will only know that if they plug into the ECU.

But don';t let that worry you, and don't ever worry about your warranty being voided. Federal Law prohibits your warranty from ever being voided. Even were the owner's manual says that the warranty can be void, that is a downright LIE!!!!

The most the dealer can do is deny a warranty, but before they can do that, they must first prove the upgrade or tune you put in is as fault. If it is not the cause of the problem, they cannot deny or void the warranty, ever.

I've read that GT's equipped with the Track Pack already come tuned from the factory...

How much HP do you think one can look to gain with a SCT x3 tuner?

Or a better question might be... is it really worth it for someone who probably won't be adding and REAL mods like a charger for quite some time?

Thanks, all!

I am going in this weekend to have my first service check up... Is it worth it to you guys to go and pick up some Royal Purple or Lucas oil for this new pony?

Or is the generic shizz the dealership uses suffice?
