I was going to get the infiniboost with trifecta and i heard sometimes the car can be put into limp mode and will cause troubles with the car. Will i have any problems boosting 25-27 on a stock 2010 ss/tc

 

get some bolt-ons and 23 psi tune..... your car will not like like 25psi + for very long. (without meth)

 

Drove a 09 TC Sedan with infinibooooost..super sweet only one problem you must have supporting mods to do it right.. if not, you'll def break something and it will cost a boat load to fix it...

 

Just stick with 21-23 psi

I'm at 20-21 myself

 

right now i have dejon hotside piping and tial bov. Im buyin a MPx catless downpipe and going to get a new intake. If i did choose to run the inifiniboost what else would i need for the car. I might just run the 23psi tune. Also if i get the tune so i have the catless downpipe code deleted and i dont have teh downpipe yet will it mess with the car at all

 

don't run any thing above 24psi with out meth

 

alright ill just get the normal tune so will it matter if i say im running a catless downpipe and dont get it in time will the car run weird without a catless dp then?

 

Don't run anything above 24psi without pistons/rings is what you meant

A Gm Tech came on and stated the stock equipment will score the cylinder walls from the rings expanding over 24psi of boost. Most people now stay below that number LOL!

 

it shouldn't really effect drive-ability, but why not just wait get bolt-ons done and then tune. That way your not retuning it all the time.

 

cause im buying the cable or tuner in like 2 days so i can just email vince and get my tunes then so it wont be a problem at all plus im not gettin a intake for awhile

 

I've rebuilt one LNF that was taken out by an infiniboost tune. It's too much for the stock turbo. Piston came apart, ate up a sleeve.

 

You will have a blown engine if you get infiboost, end of story!

 

Trifecta Selectable Tune will be your best bet. And like everyone else said, there is NO reason to run more than 24psi on the stock turbo...you may spike higher than 24psi, but I believe that's normal.

 

Course you have me over it so you can blow me up! But my car resists you so far.

 

Some good info and some ignorant statements in here. I have been running the "infiniboost" tune for 20K miles. My engine is not blown, and it runs better than ever. Most of the time blown engines come from factors other than tuning. (The setup/gas/bad installs/water/redneck mechanical engineering + improper tuning)

The infiniboost tune does not mean "above a certain PSI." It just means the learn down has been moved to an unreachable level, so vince can tune your car to make it as fast as possible.

***Fixed

 

I think you meant to to put "NOT" blown. Don't jinx yourself

No problems here with my engine. *knocks on wood*

 

I ran 30psi thru my own car for 10k miles with no ill effects from it. Im just repeating what a GM Tech wrote.

I have seen a big difference going from 22 to 24psi but very minimal going above 25psi!

 

does anybody know how much a reseller of tunes pays for a tune i was looking into buying the cable for my tune and i know thats 200 plus the tune and im wondering how much the tune would cost

 

Ask Vince

Fixed it (:

 

ya i emailed him just waiting to see how much it would cost cause i can get the cable for 150 so if the tune is relatively cheap ill get both so i can always adjust my car and tune other peoples

 

it feels expensive to be the guinea pig

 

Most drivers aren't running any extended 4th gear pulls. If it's tuned right and you don't run out 4th gear at WOT, I'd say your motor will last a long time with an infiniboost toon.

 

Prob $200 - 250 depending on the tuner. IDK what Vince charges direct. Mine was an upgrade from over a year ago.

 

Probably $320

High boost will not cause piston rings to expand. Heat will. Now with 24 psi your gonna get highter combustion temperature. And the gms1 tune puts the car to 22 psi, i doubt gm would set the boost so close to a boost level that could cause catastrophic failures. I've seen guys blow the plastic side tanks of their stock IC at around 25 psi.
