I need a little help and advice guys. I can't decide between the Trifecta budge tune or GM Stage 1. I have read alot about both tunes. But I want to know what you guys think ? My car is bone stock and all I will ever do to it is the tune only. I have no plans on getting even an intake. What are the power differences between the two ? And or realiablity ?

Thanks !!

 

If you're going to remain completly stock you might as well just go with stage 1 because then it keeps your warranty with no concerns down the road about them detecting an aftermarket tune.

why is a the trifecta budget tune an option but not a normal trifecta full tune or an hptune not an option

i'd do a full trifecta tune over gms1 I mean being you plan to stay stock there wont be that much of a difference but i'm not a fam for canned .. and neither are most of the guyhs here ..

 

gms1

if something ever goes wrong you will have zero troubles something done under warranty with gms1

 

I just want a tune that will leave my car conservative and not push it to the upper limit of boost. I also like the idea of being able to run 100% stock and then at the press of the button then getting more power. There are no tuners within a 3 or 4 hour drive of me.



Id love to get the GMS1 . However its rather expensive in my neck of the woods. About $850ish after parts and labour.

 

gotta pay to play... but say something goes wrong with the bidget tune,dealership sees an after market tune. your fucked.

not saying that its going to happen but ya never know.

 

What would be the power difference between his two choices? Just curious.

 

X2 on that... dies anyone know the difference between the two hp and trq wise?

 

search a little...

Not to mention you'll have better resale value if you stick with gms1. Buyer like seeing factory upgrades, not aftermarket stuff

 

I took part in that thread. And I did search. However there were still some un-answered questions. Thus being the reason for my post. But thanks for your inpuut. I do appreciate it !

 

Do you still have your 2010 ss ? And if so, what color did you paint your wheels ? They look really nice with the black !

 

Theres someone on here who i believe layed down close to 300hp with no mods, just a tune only. Im pretty sure it was a trifecta tune also. But that wasnt the budget tune

 

I had a 2008 SS that had anthracite powdercoated wheels. And no I sold it to buy my Evo.

 

one of the guys I did ages ago (back before select or anything) put down think 301 and 310 wtrq this was with no mods and no fun tables

 

If you're gonna get a trifecta tune don't get the budget tune. It's not budget because it's conservative or something like that, it's budget because there's no datalogging involved, which is bad. You WANT to datalog the tune to dial it in.
