If you have one tune with TM set to 100% in all the groups throughout all 5 gears it is of course going to wear out your clutch beyond all hell. With smoothing out the TM and other necessary tables to a slow boost ramp, you will have less wear and less slipping.

guess it pretty much comes down to what the customer asks for.

email trifecta and say you want a super tune all power on right away, thats what you get
emails trifecta and say you want a somewhat conservative tune thats what you get

either way, you lug the car it will kill your clutch.

Regardless if you beat on it or lug it, it will kill it. Like multiples stated before, it's just a wear and tear item and some hold and others don't.

I had a trifecta tune for 4 months and mine got shot to hell. I beat the hell out of my car too. Who cares though. It's a car and **** breaks and they make replacement parts everyday all day.


I cant take anything m33pm3pp says serious though. The dude has a quote from the almighty CCSS3 and his wonderful spelling and sentence structure. Bravo to you.
So you are basically saying exactly what I said earlier, different tune so learn to ******* drive it properly? Just because someone tunes there power down low doesn't mean it's the tuners fault, either man up and use some skill with your right foot or move over. Stop trying to blame the tune please.

Now, that quote from css3 was actually in reply to me about trifecta being a reliable tuner about 2 years ago. He was obviously butthurt and banned I think less than a year ago? Regardless, everyone sucked his **** like they do the "new" hp tuners for cobalts right now, nothing changes around here and I'm sure the trifecta/hp debate will go on until the dawn of time.

Sorry for the poor grammar and sentence structure, I don't have all the time in the world to proof read everything at work. Apparently it's good enough to understand what I'm saying though.

...duh.

Either way, he's happy with his hp tune because it suited his driving style and mod.

Just because your hp tuner tuned out all your power to hit above that doesn't mean its trifectas fault, but good try.
LOL at me tuning out all his power down low. I just designed his wg ramp such that the car made 390 wtrq (I bet you anything that is more than the trifecta tune made in his car or yours) with zero clutch slip and made the car more driveable. He cut over 2 seconds off his lap times with my tune but yeah I tuned out all his power.
