someone help me understand!

The upgrade plan is to get CIA piping and cai, with a GM stage 1 upgrade when it does come out. But here's the problem, don't I have to get the car tuned to get the best benefit from the cai and piping?


If thats the case, then why should I get the gm upgrade? Wouldnt it make more sense just to get the Trifecta Tune?

I believe the GM stage kit come with an intake if Im not mistaken. so you could just go with kit and the piping.

but I think you would probably get more power out of the piping, cai, and a trifecta tune. or close to it.

keep your warranty.....wait for the gm stage 1. Probably not as performance aggressive as the trifecta tune, but I would rather have a warranty and a fun car at the same time.

the GM kit removes the "learn-down" feature that prevents you from gaining peak HP/TQ with bolt on mods, and it is rumored to come with an intake(stage 1?), others say a whole new intake manifold(stage 2?) Only time will tell, it will come out sometime this year, hopefully in spring sometime but if we have to wait till late summer oh well, at least we still get it!!
