Hey everyone I recently bought a 09 ss/tc and I've been reading that the best place to start when it comes to performance is a tune. I currently have 100k miles and a warranty that covers me till 200K. For that reason I like the trifecta tune since I can turn it on or off. But I'm not a fan of canned tunes so I'd rather have the hp tune. What are your thoughts? Also looking for a tuner in the chicagoland area. Thanks in advance.

You want to keep warranty you will have to get a gm upgrade for the lnf..my buddy has it woke the car up real nice. And a cai and you'll be happy trust me.

The trifecta select a tune u have is not a canned tune it's a remote tune. U do data logs and send it to trifecta and they adjust it till its trifecta perfect, I say trifecta perfect cause their idea of a good tune make a lot of us shutter on here

Get the GMS1 you can keep your warranty. I have it and I hit 21psi with a stock airbox mod/upgraded lnf tube/forged bypass valve and muffler delete. Car is fast. I beat my buddies 240sx. He's got a 2.0l turbo sr20det in it and he's shifting to 3rd after 6k rpm and my car is still pulling on him in 2nd while he's in 3rd. Pretty even until hit the higher Rpms against him.

Oh and I also have a stage 3 clutch

I'm at 120k miles and still toying with the idea of getting a tune. Local Chevy dealership wanted ~$400 to install it + $500 for the kit. Trifecta want ~$300 for the kit + $200 deposit for the wire, but so many people say the Trifecta tune isn't worth it. I also can't find any HPTuners in SoCal.
I'll probably not get it done for a while anyway.

u could just buy the kit - the tune from zzp for 150. that's the sensors and plug and play harness's then goto gm and get them to flash u the gms1. or if they wont do it because u don't have the paper from the kit, then just find someone with hp tuners to flash it for u if u don't want anything more. I have the gms1 files for all 3 years. I don't know if that will keep ur warrenty though, doubt it if the dealer doesn't flash it

that gms1 kit is ridiculously over priced. should be 200 in my opinion. the lsj kits u get actual hardware with them like injectors and stuff and they are cheaper

You don't have to have the tuner local. if you have a laptop and can get the cable (Maybe with a deposit from the tuner), then you log and send it to them, they'll update and change, and send tune back to you. you never have to be in the same area/car
