Exclamation Going for a tune

I have GMS1 currently with ZZP catless downpipe and a K&N drop in.

Going to tune my car. I am a big p*%!y when it comes to voiding my warranty.

I want to know from you other guys:

1) What tune you are running

2) How long have you been tuned, (miles or kms)

3) How badly you beat on your car every night, realistically.

4) What problems. If you've blown an engine, needed a valve adjustment, anything....let me know


Cheers.

I have had a Trifecta tune for about 9000 miles and I have had zero issues. Not even a CEL. I go into boost about every other day or so. I'm not abusive but I still get on it sometimes. Make sure you datalog it tho. Don't worry about voiding the warranty, the Trifecta tune is a stealth tune and is undetectable by the current methods of dealers of detecting tunes.

I've had the Trifecta tune for about 18k miles and have had no issues thus far. I've autox, and track my car, and I redline the car at least once a day and still no issues. I also had the chance to dyno my own car at my school and it put down 278whp and 320wtq completely stock down to the air filter.

Unless that GM tech presses the TC button twice

Then your warranty, you can bye bye

You never know, GM techs aren't stupid and plus you always have that noisey tech that is curious

But if you wanna keep your warranty then you should just go with the GMS1 and not have to worry about anything

Could you PM me I'm curious.



Or OP you could buy Trifecta's dealer kit and then flash back to your stock tune for dealer visits if your really concerned.

111mph traps are sick, i only trap 106 with gms1. That trap speed is more than a stock SRT8 Jeep. Not bad.

Come out to Cayuga July 14th and you'll see a couple of HP tuned LNF's trapping that minimum.
