Have the dealer flash your pcm back to stock then the hypertech will re program the power tuning.

That may not work. If it anything like useing Tunercat or lt1edit- It is a Pain in the butt once that happens. I would call Hypertech before you do anything. As many programers that they have sold, this has had to happened a bunch of times! As soon as you go to the dealer, be prepared to give up your first born!! I would try all other routes before going too the dealer.

From what I've heard the dealer only charges around $65, which is at least not that much of a ripoff if that is your only way of getting to work.
