I'm planning on getting the vms tune next month but i'm thinking about buying the ecm outright, so when i take it in for any warrenty work in the future i can just switch the ecm out (one of the tech at the pontiac dealerships told me thats a good way to go to not void the warrenty). I also want to get the tcm tune but i have to use the flash xpress cable to tune it, i was wondering will the dealership know that i tune my tcm or is that just with the ecm? I don't want to void my warrenty. thanks for any info

If you put the stock ecm in you will be OK with the tcm tune.

You can also pay a bit more and get his stealth TCM tune. I didn't but you can! I have the extra ECM too.

Someone was selling one used here or at boards...:)

You will need a case relearn with a new ecm however. Once it's done you can swap back and forth and not need to do it again.

I may be in the same boat as antonio31 with getting a replacement ecm. I just received my dash hawk so I should be good to go with doing a case relearn right?
I'm still on the fence between doing the vector tune (having it e-mailed to me) or going with a local shop that uses DHP. Trying to get a hold of Kirk now to answer some question to help me decide.

Yes, Dashhawk can do the relearn.

Yeah it's super easy! Just make sure when it says to hold RPM's at 3000-5000 you just bounce it off the 4000rpm limiter. (not joking)

The ECU limmits RPM to 4000 when not moving.

That's what I did, but in the 10 months I had the car it never needed to go to the dealer for anything. I hope the 2009 is as good. :p
