Yeah.. i talked with him the other day. Super guy! Post some times for us. You only have the tune? No other supporting mods? Did you have GMS1 to begin with? I'm asking because i have the GMS1. It was a big improvement over stock any day. Comparing the different tunes is what im looking at. What tune will be able to give me more.. and safely. If Trifecta is not much more than the GMS1 tune.. why would i want to do it? But after bolting on things.. then i would want to tune on top of that. Thank you!

Thanks guys 
All of people that come to me for the Trifecta tune get datalogged and the logs are all reviewed by Vince to make sure the car is running in optimum form. I'm glad you're happy with the tune Chris and I'm sure we'll be able to hook up Shawn tomorrow and make yet another satisfied Trifecta customer!

True story...the intake track is so vital to every aspect of the performance of this car that messing with it without tuning for it is probably actually giving you less performance than leaving it stock..right down to the paper filter.

I had just the box mod on my car with the stock filter after picking it up from the dealer and had quite a bit of mid range KR. I adjusted JUST the maf and all was gone. Let that tell the tale

X2. I run more timing than stock everywhere even midload and no KR. I had tons of midload KR before I MAF tuned the car.

So I just got tuned today by Mike Nelson (Nelson) this car is amazing with trifecta over
gms1 pull nice hard and clean. Mike is a great guy to work with if anybody is looking for a trifecta dealer. the 3rd gear pulls so hard now and there is huge a difference from gms1 to trifecta
Well I'll be at the track tomm night to see what I can get out of her

I put my trifecta tune in Monday and its insane
The DD tune is a mirror of the gms1 and comp mode looks to be boosting 22/23psi and there is no comparison at all. The 22 paid tune pulls way harder once you're in 2nd gear, shreds the stock tires.
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for cheap easy power.

Your saying you were GMS1 before the Trifecta tune? And there is that much of a difference between them? I'm already spinning in 2nd at WOT.. I'm excited to see the comparisons! Very cool stuff.

Yup, I'm also interested to see the difference between just GMS1 with mods and Trifecta over GMS1 with mods. I've got GMS1 with KN filter with airbox mod and catted CIA DP. Vince @ Trifecta told me he can add 35 HP and TQ by just adding Trifecta tune.
