OP updated. Thread summary:
1. He bought a ‘14 Vette with 8k miles from Carfax
2. Engine blew awhile later
3. GM says it had been tuned & it’s not under warranty, he posts on Corvette Forum for help
4. CF is 10% helpful, 90% turd posts
5. Carfax says they’ll cover it
6. OP is happy, most of CF leaves to find other threads to dump on

Good update - I should have just posted the popcorn eating emoji - read that thread all the way through with interest as i always wondered about the affect of retunning on a warranty.
