Which Tune

Ok, I have the gms1 and I want more power, which tune should I go with? I'm leaning toward a Trifecta, is there anyone in Oklahoma that can tune my sstc or should i order a trifecta tune? There is a shop here that says they can tune it for $500 because it costs $200 to unlock it?

you could do trifecta or hpt. Read the tune sticky thread, ask some q's about each and figure out which one will work for you.

Trifecta for the mere fact that the tune is switchable between a low-PSI and high-PSI. Most people go with 18 and 24.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies, I've read the sticky about the different tunes, I just wanted to hear some opinions on them. Able racing is who quoted me the $500 for a tune, Andre and JR seem like pretty cool guys and they have some fast cars. I like the idea of the Trifecta since I can switch from gms1 to the Trifecta. I'm also thinking about the zzp. What kind of power can I get out of the Trifecta or the zzp?

Trifecta 24PSI yields about 310/355. Of course, that changes depending on dyno and a thousand other variables, but you'll be close. I don't have a tune, but his is what I read on here.

I don't know anything about the zzp's tune.

Trifecta! I love being able to switch between tunes. Hell for 500$ you could get the cable and get free updates any time you want. Vince is really awesome at what he does and he is just a email away.
