Get a tune, it will be more reliable. Find a good tuner in your area, and have them tune it. If the tune is done right, it should be more reliable and better for the engine than the stock tune.

I have a canned tune. Been running it for 49,000 miles so far. Yes, I drive a lot. lol

That said, and like Tommyp2010 said a custom should be better. Plus you can have them tune it however you want really. They can make it so it's easily a daily driver.

I have BSR tune but I love the idea of Trifectas' selectable tune. That would be the ****.

Trifecta is best for daily driver. You get two tunes to choose between, so you can have a low boost and a high boost tune.

You can do that with HP now too


It really all depends on how you drive the car. I commuted 100 miles a day with my car running a 30psi tune. If you treat it right, it will last!

The cool thing about the select a tune features is the ability to run a stock or GMS1 tune and then also have a ***** out tune loaded! The press of a button changes between modes. If you have an intake, I would get a custom tune whether its TF, HP or a TF/HP Combo tune. Any of the flash programmers will not address the intake MAF skew. These cars really like the MAF dialed in as close to perfect as possible.

Been telling you about the trifecta tune for quite some time. If you want to see the differance I have both the Superchips and Trifecta, If you want I could install the Superchips tune in your car and see what you think about it then you could take mine for a spin.
