if we do tune and take the car in for service at dealer, would they reset the ecu and erase the tune?

no as long as you tell your service advsor to not reset the ecu and i believe powerchip has some type of policy where they can reflash if dealer resets your ecu..

Hmm...I've been looking into doing a Rentech upgrade on my vehicle, which gets me 22HP, but they want around $1200. What is the turn-around time on this?
