What happened to Trifecta?
Hey everyone, I haven't been on the network for awhile and apparently I need to be brought back up to speed. I'm currently running an E85 tune file from Vince Geglia and I haven't been able to reach him or Trifecta recently. My issue is that I need to move from Colorado to Dallas, TX in the next 3 weeks and I won't be able to make the drive all the way out there on E85 and thus need a new tune with 91 gas to make the haul. Any help and information will much appreciated!!

Find someone who is doing HP tuning. Vince couldn't make good tunes, couldn't keep up with demand, etc.

Contact BNR, they are basically the only way to go anymore with Trifecta tunes.

Vince usually locks the PCM so I doubt an HP tuner can change the file.

contacting Vince? or contacting BNR? If Im able to get a hold of Vince that would be easier... but I don't have his number and he hasn't responded to any emails.

He has To flash it back to stock with a trifecta cable before anyone with hp tuners can tune it. Vince locks the ecm.

Mostly because they spam his inbox with updates and useless ****, all before data logging their cars properly.

Cobalt kids are annoying, I would never want to be a tuner for them

I put in a support ticket on wot-tuning.com almost three weeks ago and I've had one response since then. Very unresponsive. I feel like 3 weeks to resolve a simple question of "was my car tuned? *vin number*" is unacceptable.
