    Not on the roadmap at this stage. We might look into it later this year.

    I know that there are a lot of guys in Australia waiting for this as well for our 3.6L HFV6 Holden Commodores.

    Please keep us updated on this one.

    Thanks,
    Kris.

    We powered up a Auto and it made 170rwhp, after 3 runs in was running AFR lower than 9s' and the car was down to 140rwhp.

    We liked to fit gears (3.9), reprogram the auto and fix the AFR's.

    On the road map yet?

    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Bump here, just got a 07 G6 GTP with the 3.6 VVT and would love to have support for this car. Highway gas mileage sucks, only getting an average of 26 mpg over an entire fuel tank of highway driving so it would be nice to tune for better gas mileage. Also I would love to shut all of the computer babysitting too, it's driving me crazy. The throttle response on this G6 sucks, and the babysitting from the computer also got annoying. I feel as if everytime I give it gas I have to wait for the computer to check it's parameters before doing what I request, it sucks. GM mighest well give me a joystick, I feel like I'm playing a video game when I drive this car.

    No need to TTT the thread the 07 3.6 G6 has been on our supported vehicles list for many months now.

    06-08 Pontiac G6 3.5, 3.6, 3.9 (3.5 in 07 only)

    Ok, but that's what throws me off, you're saying only the 3.5 for the 07 G6's?? But I read post by overclock saying he was tuning an 07 G6 GTP with the 3.6 but this contradicts the supported list and under the Alloy engines all of the 07 cars with the 3.6 are listed except the Pontiac G6?? So it is supported, awesome!

    No, it means the 3.5ltr motor is only supported in 07' vehicles not previous, but the 3.6 IS supported in 06-08

    It will all depend on what pcm they decide to put in it, more than likely E77 like the DI caddy 3.6 which is currently unsupported.

    Gotcha, guess that makes sense. So, if they decide on that one, that would probably make the E77 worth hacking than wouldn't it? LOL
