Is there a factory tune?

I just bought a 2013 GSR and I was wondering if there is a factory tune for more power. My wife had a cobalt ss turbo and gm had an upgrade called GMS1 that added 30 hp and 90 tq and kept the warranty.

If not what are my options? I daily drive this and want to keep my warranty for now. I dont want any thing crazy, not looking to add any bolt on's just some extra power.

Thanks in advance.

I'll go out on a limb and say once you pop the OBDII cherry, Mitsu will void your warranty. My 2012 is bone stock and I keep my Tactrix cable as far away from it as possible.

Good Luck resisting the mod bug.

No factory power tunes.

Now you could do a tactrix flash and flash back to stock for warranty issues

Older models (evo 6 and 7) had RalliArt tunes available. I haven't heard of anything for anything after those.

There is a flashing counter for Evo Xs (https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...g-counter.html). I have seen a few posts about returning to stock for warranty work but I haven't seen anything about anyone being denied warranty work because the dealer detected previous reflashes.

There is a bit of risk in it, also keep in mind that dealers can search the internet for posts like these about people modifying their vehicles and use them as evidence to deny warranty.

I believe there is one available for Australian-sold dealer Ralliarts... the TMR (Team Mitsubishi Ralliart) tune.

I know there is a TMR front brake upgrade available for new Aussie RAs (for over $4000!)... but not 100% sure on the tune thing.

Not heard of anything similar in the US, though.
