i just like the idea of full control over the pcm.

sheek calls me nuts for wanting to do it my self... i did it on my motor bike..... with a wide band
It probably won't void your warranty. If you got to INTENSE's website, part of the stuff you have to fill out is your VIN. They will have the PCM read as your VIN # if anyone ever read the PCM from the dealership.

If you plan on doing this with HP Tuners by yourself...plan on spending a lot of time. I was the first one INTENSE tested HP Tuners on and it took 20 pulls on the dyno to get the a/f balanced out, and Scott does this stuff all the time with GTPs. Every model year acts differently. After he became a little more familiar with it for our car, he had to do things differently on the 04 and 05 RLs and with the cobalts as well.
