A tune, along with some after-market parts, sounded like a relatively inexpensive and step-by-step method to enhance my C6's performance. But I needed to enhance my knowledge beyond the C3s that I had rebuilt some few decades ago. I wanted learn what a tune is before allowing anyone to change components and electronic parameters in my C6.
I read Greg Banish's book, "Engine Management: Advanced Tuning".
After reading and re-reading some sections, I learned what and how many factors combine, interact, and impact performance and longevity. I learned that many specific changes should be applied based upon my C6's mechanical and electronic capabilities and how and where I plan to drive.
A tune may be the way to go, but it can involve changing aspects in ways that I failed to understand and didn't know about. I realized that I did not want some mechanical and electronic parameters changed in ways intrinsic to a tune.
I now see why a good tune can only be designed by someone whose experience and knowledge combine to mix all factors precisely and correctly. A tune can be productive or destructive.
