Lol at WOT once a month, I probably do it a hundred times a month. As far as NLS..if you have the stock clutch with a tune, it won't last long if you do it alot. Ask me how I know...lol

Don't NLS 1-2 and 5th as others have said.. Also.. this car needs to get some "driving" in at least once a week to keep it running like a top, also as others have said. If you drive like a grandma all the time and WOT once a month, this direct injection engine is going to carbon up and be quite a bit slower when you do get on it. I use NLS only when racing on the street/strip or passing multiple cars 3-4 on the highway. Had 0 problems, but my clutch does slip with the trifecta tune, but my tune is around 21-23 psi and not 20; however, it'll only slip in the higher gears if you get on it. If you keep it in the right gear (the lower gear) for more performance, your clutch will be fine and hold.
As for beating the car, maintenance is a racer's best friend. If you don't maintain your car, and even if you still drive it like a granny, it won't last. These engines definately need to be kept up to date, and if they are, they'll reward you with great performance and problem free motoring.
All of my 2 cents...

Gms1 is 20psi and you retain the ability to nls, it's covered by warranty. This is what I'm looking forward too.


Also wot once a month? If I had to guess I do it 300-500 times. You only live once.

Sort of off topic but I use my Turbalt as a year round daily driver and was wondering if I got Trifecta tuned at 22 PSI as my go fast tune when I needed it, would I still have to get retuned for the winter even if I do not use it that time of year?

No you should not need to change or get your tune redone for the seasons. I drive my car year round and have had Trifecta for a couple years now.
