I'm wondering what kind of results I would get getting the computer module and sending it off to VIT Tune (stock 2019 Type), I have zero interests in physically modifying the engine, intake, exhaust, etc.

Will this void the warranty? Can I pass inspections? Will I blow up the motor prematurely (I want to keep it for 10 years). I drive pretty hard on the mountain roads in North GA and Western NC.

If you are talking about Vit Viper I don't think he does tunes anymore for stock ECU's. He primarily deals with Motec tuning now.

As Cincy mentioned above, I don't believe he does tuning of the stock ECU (he only supports Motec, which will cost you upwards of $8-10K to do it correctly).

Honestly, you're better of picking up a Hondata or KTuner unit. For $700-$1000 (depending on what you choose and whether you buy new or used), you can usually pick up about 30-50whp with no mods (apart from having the ECU jailbroken). Search the forums; lots of info.

Warranty wise, once you unlock ur ecu, there is no way back (welcome to the dark force), and any dealer can tell once they plug in ur ecu. then it will totally depend on the dealer's decision.

You're out of luck for the 2019 model on the stock ECU for right now, also.

Pretty sure we'll all be dead by 2109.
