Trifecta Tune Ftmfw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

first off let me just say HOY **** THIS TUNE RULES so i just got back from my first drive after installing the tune and the car is a completely different beast i spin second no matter what and third tried breaking loose a couple of times too.......on the down side im gonna have to replace my clutch sooner then i thought it definetly slips in third and fourth when i just punch it at low rpms it has to be the crazy jump in torque when it hits full boost but damn this is worth every penny and i suggest everyone interested in a tune call up Clear Image and get it that is all for now im still waiting on my Hahn cool ram and my Hahn catless down pipe shpuld be shipping out early next week

Yep a good tune really transforms these cars. I feels like a completely different car. Mine pulls almost as hard as my Dad's SRT 10 Viper. I know because I just drove his car today and I was supprised a how fast the cobalt really is even compared to that car.

Are you talking about the CIA website? Right now its a piece of Sh**, but it has been said they are working on upgrading it. The forums is the best place to get info on it.

Why would you get a GMPP exhaust? The stock exhaust is 2.5" just like the GMPP. Go 3" or you are wasting $$$.

Glad to hear you like the tune, it is kinda weird to see everyone that has the tune that was developed on my car, i am glad it wasn't just me thinking my car got a lot faster. Yeah Dan is in the process of updating the website(these things take time) Also Clear Image is going to offer the electric cut out option on the Downpipe

250 dollar voided warranty CHECK - You guys must all plan on keeping your cars past the 100k mark. I just haven;t gained enough confidence with the LNF to do an aftermarket tune ...

What are you guys gunna do when ur cars take a dump and you don't have any money ?


I plan on trading it in with the warranty in tact.

And he is apparently from Dallas. I thought there were no ghettos in Dallas

Back on topic: Tunes rule in these cars. All my previous cars were tuned but this car you can actually tell a huge difference from stock.

Its not technically voided. There are ways around it which I fully intend on attempting, even if it means purchasing a new ecu.

So from a roll my car will hang with it for a while, but alas my car will not do 194 mph like his.

You must think I have a TC. I meant the one for the 2.2.

no it wont. get off the crack. the viper is a 120+ quarter car. yours would be lucky to hit 110.

so your saying a car that will trap 109(not sure what a tuned ss/tc will trap) will hang for a while with a srt-10 viper that traps 125+ ^dang hatrickstu beat me to it
