i said this before though, the car cant be dynoed while in comp mode. it bogs at 4000 RPMs.
well my car did. so i had to cut the car off, and turn it back on and just turn it to off... then it worked.
unless theres a way to fix that.

Wow. I was very nearly sold on trifecta tune before I read this thread. Now I am completely sold!
My preference:
TC on = Stock tune or Econo tune
Comp Mode = Trifecta Performance Tune
TC off and ESC off = Beast Mode
Change DIC to say "Take Flight Mode" when Beast tune is activated.
Vince, you are making many people very very happy!

Well, it sounds like we're limited to only two tunes at this time. I'm with you though, I think three would be ideal:
1) Normal DD
2) Econo for trips
3) Performance for competition or when you need even more passing power, or w/e...

Vince,
As a user of your current tune, I must say that you have done incredible work and I look forward to purchasing this upgrade once it becomes available.
I think the ideal situation with the tune selectability for me would be the following....
- On normal startup (traction on) the car is on a stock or similar tune.
- In comp mode, the car is on the 21.5 psi tune (the current one you provide)
- Holding down the TC button for 5 seconds to turn off the ESC activates the "Crazy" tune.
I think this setup would have the performance options that most would be seeking. Also, having to hold down the TC button for 5 seconds in order to turn the ESC off and activate the "Crazy" tune would give a little bit of stealth, secrecy and security from anybody else who may drive the car to accidentally (or intentionally) activate it.
Lastly, any idea when this tune will become available? I can't wait!

Vince, how many tunes can fit on the computer? I know I definitely want a mpg tune were the car runs lower boost and is leaner but safe.
Is there a way to do this:
cruse light on:
T/C on=MPG tune
T/C off=same as comp but of course no traction for dyno purposes.
Comp mode= strong tune but lower launch control to 3k(when available) and lower boost in 1st and have this more of a street tire comp mode.
Cruse light off:
T/C on= bone stock tune or mild
T/C off= same as comp but of course no traction for dyno purposes.
Comp mode= I guess more of a beast tune for dr's or slicks with full boost in 1st and higher launch control if there is a way to keep it from bogging.
I Don't know if this is feasible but I figured I would throw the idea out there. I also PM'd you with some other questions.

An option in your tunes for custom text would be an option I would be willing to pay extra for!

Dealer tested!!!
Vince will most likely not be able to post replies for a while. We got slammed with orders and he is working on them so he can start sending them out.
Great news:
Vince just let me know the tune has been verified to be completely un-detectable. A custom he was working with installed the tune then went to a dealership and had them scan with the Tech 2. He asked the tech if there was an after market tune installed and the GM tech told him "no, it's the stock tune". So there you have it. For all those who doubted the tune could be hidden, it is.

Thats awesome! Very cool feature
that will definitely help sell the tune. The tune can also be custom done at a dyno shop?

If by "canned" you mean you tell him everything you have done, and he gets the tune close because he has so many data logs (not like there's a plethora of parts for our cars...) then runs data logs on your car since we have wideband O2 sensors, and perfects your tune, then yes it is a "canned" tune There's no better dyno then the real world IMHO.

As some of you know we're getting ready to release a new tune for the LNF that allows the driver to select between two different programmed tunes on the fly.
Currently I have this working so an alternate tune is used when COMPETITION MODE is selected with the traction control button. But another way to do it would be to use the cruise control switch - if cruise control is off one tune (our aggressive tune) is selected, and if it is on, another tune (GM stage tune or stock tune) is selected.
What do you think would be more useful? Tying this to the competition mode or traction control mode?
