So I installed DiabloSport Intune DCX and currently running 91 octane tune, using 92 octane Chevron (only 92 octane here in western WA)

if I want to play with tunes, do I just go from one to the other, or back to original tune first?

You just load the other tune over the existing.

Congrats on your new toy! :favorites13:

Are you gonna run the canned tunes or get custom tunes?

I'm definitely going custom tune, do I have to do data logging first?

Getting a tuner and running a tune whether it be canned or custom will void the factory warranty correct? Even if you take it back to stock?

Usually depends on the dealership. The dealership is supposed to prove that the modification is directly related the the problem you are attempting to get fixed under warranty. If it is directly related they can deny warranty claims.

Data logging comes after loading the custom tune and enjoying it for a minute. ;)

Not at all, it's not a cut and dry "warranty is voided because of a tuner..." I don't think there is a single person on here that has a tuner and their warranty was voided because of it.
There are many guys on here that have had warranty work done despite a tuner, even with the tune installed and dealer being aware of the tune.
That being said, it seems to vary by dealer, state, country and sometimes the "time of the month." Lol

I didn't pay extra for the extended warranty, so I'm not really sweatin' anything for the next 3/36,000.
