The V8 has a flash counter. The V6 apparently does not. The only viable way to tune the V6 is through Trifecta. Don't waste your money on anything else, if you have a V6. If you remove your speed limiter, i'd advise your tires to be rated for higher speed.
Edit: LLT and LFX can be tuned.

the 2012 LFX doesn't use the same PCM, and is more easily tuneable... HP Tuners is working on it, as are some other companies.

You should be more worried about life insurance than a warranty if 118 is not fast enough.

PCM calibration snapshots are only required for V8 engine, transmission, and transfer case replacements. They are recommended on V8 Cat con replacements, but not yet required. Other then that... The dealer doesn't send them in on V6 vehicles, as of right now.
