I never had a problem communicating with Vince, he always seems to respond in a timely manner. No problems with tunes on my car after 2 years either.

I've sold around 20 trifecta tunes now to cobalts, skys, solstices, camaros, corvettes, etc. If you want to get everything ironed out in one shot, email vince and say "hey can you be available for tuning at this time on this day". He will usually say yes. I don't let my customers leave unless the car is exactly where they want it and I have several repeat customers or customers that have been referred by others. It's not rocket science.... if you want the tune perfect, ask him for a day and time to dedicate to you. Keep sending logs until you are happy with where it is.

I data logged my car yesterday, sent him the email attachments around 11:30 AM. Later I got the revised tune by 6:30 PM!!! No issues with him so far.

Thank you brotha. Everything has been smooth sailing from the morning.

I think he may already have someone helping him. One time I sent him an email to update my tune when I installed my downpipe and got a response from a completely different address saying my logs looked good.

bogalusahondakiller

he has a datalog account. i have gotten the same thing. I now have both emails. When i email a log is goes to the address for logs and if its just a question it goes to his address

Unless you want the selcect a tune no need in a combo tune anymore

If the tune is needed to make aftermarket bolt ons run properly, how do they behave when the select-a-tune is selected off? Also, is the select-a-tune annoying since putting the car in competitive mode enables launch control as well? Does it get in the way?

The reason I ask is because, I don't think I really want it set to the cruise button since if I'm in cruise control I don't think I'll be in need of having the tune enabled haha. \

Help a noob out?

It'll behave like the stock tune does, or whetever your "traction on" tune is. I don't think you have to have stock + trifecta, I think you can have two different trifecta tunes if you want. Also if you don't like the way the stock launch control is set, Trifecta can change it.

Also, who says cruise on has to be the tune? Maybe it's cruise off is the tune. That's how I'd do it.

With the cruise button on mine is in the factory tune or my case GMS1 tune, with the cruise button off it is the Trifecta tune

Right that makes a lot of sense actually, thought it had to be on.

The selecta a tune is merely boost level changes on demand.

nobody2u

Ah I understand. I thought it was stock when off. Makes more sense now.

VinceTrifecta

When can actually set it up either way (but default is cruise off = custom tune). To some people, having extra boost with the cruise control off isn't intuitive (e.g. light on should = more power). But we designed it to be extra boost with the cruise control off for this reason - we figured you wouldn't need more boost with the cruise control on. Lol

Fastgti69

Can you do it with the fog light button? or thats totally different on the ECU. Fogs on = tuned, fogs off= stock.

VinceTrifecta

The fog light switch is hooked up to the body control module. Actually, the cruise control and traction control buttons are hooked up to the BCM also, and the BCM tells the ECM what the button status is. But the BCM doesn't tell the ECM about the fog light switch status because the ECM doesn't care about the fog light status.

That was a long drawn out way of saying "No, we can't do that." Lol

nobody2u

Vince, how does the budget tune work exactly? Is it completely a canned tune? Or do the few things you can get with it get tuned with the car?

Also, what is the power output of the budget tune?

drewbroo

Its a TF tune that isn't selectable, and doesn't get free retunes. The selectable tune is worth the extra cash

nobody2u

Gotcha, yeah that makes sense.
