I'm going to swap out the upper pulley on my (2009) CTS-V. I can get a mail order tune to load with an SCT handheld, but was looking to have a proper dyno tune done.
I called Davenport, and they won't tune my car with just a pulley. They are worried about the potential for damage to the engine resulting from the extra heat. In order for them to tune my car with a pulley mod, I would have to have them install: headers, full exhaust, and a heat exchanger, all to the tune (no pun intended) of over $8K.
I can appreciate their position, but from the various other forums I frequent, I know there are thousands of V owners running just an upper pulley, CAI, with a tune, and the engine is perfectly safe.
So, I wanted to ask if there are any other places in town that are experienced with LSx engines and that are competent and able to safely tune my car, including the tranny.
Thanks
