Newb questions...

If this translator replaces the stock ecu, how/where does traditional "engine tuning" get performed? That is, if I take the car to a tuner to perform a tuning service to squeeze out best performance of the LS3 engine from the engine map is this still performed by generally available tools like ecutek, oft, via OBDII etc? Would the tuner need any special instruction for such a process or will they see this process as seamless as any other customer? Would the tuning process look like any other GM LS3 customer to them?

Does it allow for any other enhancements traditionally discussed on our ECU's for things such as CEL code ignore, rev match, flat foot, various maps that you can quickly access at start up like valet mode, accelerator mapping etc?

Does rev limit and shift indicator/beep still function?

Also the GTS has a display in the cluster with g sensor, power/torque curve, odometer, trip meter. Are these retained/working?

I'm on the Sunshine Coast QLD and will start swap soon. Probably get an LS3 and 6060 from Holmart. 2017 GTS manual. Car has less than 1000km on it so if anyone is interested in virtually brand new engine, trans, diff etc, pm me.

Cheers,
Matt
