Just wondering. seeing that the tune is between $500-650 and the VCM is another $500. His tunes do not come with downloading software. You must have HPT VCM or find someone who does and will download your factory tune and upload the new for you. __________________ Dave at www.DEJONPOWERHOUSE.com Currently running 311 rear wheel hp with 16g kit at 25psi Stocking Dealer for HP Tuners VCM Suites and Wester's tune ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NASSOA Founding Member #6 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	DEJON-Dave Supporting Tuner Join Date: Apr 2007	This isn't in my best interests, but a local group of owners can purchase HPT VCM and share it to download everyone's factory tune and upload Wester's tunes for each vehicle, since you get enough credits with the purchase to buy a complete 07 GXP or Redline year. I'll offer this downlod/upload service free to any customer of mine who drives to my shop. I can't expect that Lyndon will email the new tune back the same day though, so it may take you 2 trips. __________________ Dave at www.DEJONPOWERHOUSE.com Currently running 311 rear wheel hp with 16g kit at 25psi Stocking Dealer for HP Tuners VCM Suites and Wester's tune ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NASSOA Founding Member #6 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Does the ecm store the cars mileage in the ecm? and would the onstar diagnostics be able to tell that I swapped ecm's? The ECM does not store mileage.(Only in the event of a DTC set since last error--hours or miles). Per Lyndon Mileage is stored in the IPC. However...GM can tell if this (and others since 2006) ECM has been rewritten or not. They've implemented new code in a couple latest releases to combat all the people who wreck stuff--and want warranty. They can now tell if the calibration is original or not by looking at CVN's or Checksums. Companies like "BullyDog" and "SuperChips" have totally ruined things for the rest of us...BullyDog being the biggest offender. They're also counting 'reflashes' -- so even if someone buys HPT and keeps reflashing their ECM, the counter will indicate 'reflashes'. This is kinda bad, considering that if there's only one calibration for a vehicle, and they see 10-15 flashes, the eyebrows are raised immediately. __________________ Dave at www.DEJONPOWERHOUSE.com Currently running 311 rear wheel hp with 16g kit at 25psi Stocking Dealer for HP Tuners VCM Suites and Wester's tune ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NASSOA Founding Member #6 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good question, this is something that I've been wondering as well. I've been wanting a Westers Tune for quite a while, can't wait until it's available for the 08's.

Yeah, that's what I did. I have my stock ecm with the stock tune and I bought a new ecm and got the Wester's tune on it. Once you do the security relearn on the new one you can swap them back and forth. __________________ 2007 Deep GXP - M5, Loaded w/o OnStar Mods: JPM Custom Shifter - Stubby Ant - WindRestrictor - Dejon TB Elbow - Dejon BOV Spring - JPM Center Console - JPM Visor Covers - Wester's Tune Future Mods: delayed due to European Vacation!!

I've had 2 on order for a week and will get them to Wester's ASAP. I had one at Westers and it sold today. __________________ Dave at www.DEJONPOWERHOUSE.com Currently running 311 rear wheel hp with 16g kit at 25psi Stocking Dealer for HP Tuners VCM Suites and Wester's tune ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NASSOA Founding Member #6 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
