There are tons of 2.2, 2.4 and 2.0 SC cars with the Trifecta tunes. Not sure if anyone has had major problems with them.

I have had mine for 15k miles and love it to death. Its the cheapest and worth every penny.

Like I said Im knew to the tuning business....considering my computerless vette haha.
i have almost 10k miles on my pyskotune and ive never had a cel or any others problems

What kind of options are there to choose from? If you want, please PM me with that info. I might possibly be ordering a tune from you guys in the next week or 2.

What all does the Trifecta tune consist of? Can I order it and tune my car now, and later down the road what if I wanna add a DP and charge piping, what happens with the tune?

Guys,
Don't PM his answers................If you want more business.
POST THEM!!!

great questions that need a forum answer



As an add on: Does the Trifecta tune need to be done in person (I know stupid question but I pull the noob card)

Do we kiss warranty goodbye?

All tunes other than the GM stage tune will technically void your warranty. I have been tuning the LNF for a long time and have not seen any reliability issues, and my LNF tunes are on 150+ cars so you gotta wonder how safe it really is. No issues have come up with that many cars and I've been doing it since day 1.

Someone is bound to have an issue with their car somewhere down the road, but the 22psi that my basic tunes allows is incredibly safe on the LNF.

No the Trifecta tune does not need to be done in person, that is the beautiful part of their tune, they send you everything you need to upload the Tune to your car and offer assitance through the entire process which only takes 1 min or so.

That's why I fly all over the country doing group tuning. When you get enough cars together like there are lined up in Orlando I can afford to fly out and do dyno tunes for the canned tune price. It's the way to go. Typically my dyno tunes are about 15whp more than the canned.

How is it uploaded if he is not there?

With thast in mind, can it be undone in case of needed repair?

Thank you. I see a b-day present in my future!

How bad can a "canned" tune be on a totally stock car.
I see iffy comments but in my mind I want to think that if you can nail it down on another stock car, its right on for anyone else with a stock car...

I believe the GT tuner that Trifecta sells is similar to the SCT tuners and Diablosport tuners, meaning it's pretty much a plug and play and that's it, unless you want more out of it than you can send it back and they recalibrate it and send it back to you.

The canned tune that I received from Brenspeed.com on my Mustang typically produces gains of 15-20rwhp and about the same in torque with just an intake. Keep in mind some cars are gonna be different, but I believe the LNF can make power with just a tune from Trifecta.

The canned tunes work really well on the LNF, way more than on most cars. It's due to how they are controlled.

And what makes you think you need the MAF redone? What have you done to change the diameter of the MAF housing?

It's just the spectre screwing you up, guaranteed. You won't have that problem at all with the Hahn.

I'm not butt hurt.

I live in the middle of no where. (no trustworthy tuners around) Just a more convenient option and it's just for fun so I'm not worried about an extra 10-15whp.
