Hello All,

Wow, I've been off the forums for a long time.  Talk about a sight for sore eyes!!

So... I have a 2013 with the PP and I am going to throw a tune in it.  Just passing 70k miles.  I had a tuned 2010 SHO before this car.  Those of you from some of the other forums know some of the issues I had...  Before it hit 65k miles I went through (2) transmissions and (3) PTUs.  I always had a weird trans stutter that Livernois couldnt figure out.  I got so frustrated after the 3rd PTU died I got the 2013 SHO with the extra cooling.  I beat the snot out of this car (stock) and I am just getting the confidence to get her tuned as well.

ANYWAYS...

MY QUESTION: who here has a tuned SHO with greater than 80k miles? Do you keep the tune all the time or do you switch to stock every once in a while?  How long have you had the tune?

Thanks all!

73k miles, I've had her tuned since 60k.  Still going strong.  I would definitely promote more frequent PTU and transmission services.

Welcome back, Boss Hoss!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Over 107k on the odometer with no problems. I've only had it tuned for a couple thousand miles though. I always have it tuned.
