Not many people on this site know how good the GMR Stage 3 PCM really is, and what can be done to it via Trifecta/HP tuners. This is because it was originally locked by GM, and many people steered away from it without ever really learning about it's capabilities. I've run many logs/tests on my car, and wouldnt have it any other way. HOM, an adjustable rev limiter, and the ability to run nitrous all in one package = priceless.

I'm actually looking into getting this but I wanted to know if anyone can tell me if I get the gms3+trifecta w ac +launch control if I decide way later on to go with a tvs set up could trifecta retune so I can still keep the gms3 features with the tvs blower?

Yes, you will be able to keep your GMS3 features.
^ Yes the GMS3 features still work whether you go TVS, Turbo, Twin Screw, etc, because they function relative to whatever custom tuning is in place.
e.g. - HOM adds timing to whatever is in the timing tables already, rather than having its own timing table.

You'd be less likely to see any gain if you're already tuned for e85, as that would indicate you're running optimal timing for something that is already the equivalent of about 100 octane. How much timing are you seeing?
If you're in the high 20s on timing already, then HOM may not be necessary for you, since the LSJ doesn't really benefit from anything over 25*.

You will have to get with BYT unless you have trifecta cable and HPT also, Seeing as you have TFS3/BYT tune. The only tradeoff is you lose the adjustable rev limiter and it has to be hard set to what you want it set at, G-11's is set at 7,250 which is higher than I normally recommend some guys go that high with stock valve springs though Yikes, He could prolly go to 7,500 pretty easily with his upgraded valve springs if he wanted had a need to, A pretty good trade off I think. The lsj launch control is better than the lnf as it is set just like you set rev limiter now and the lnf has to be a full tune reflash for each 5% 250 rpm adjustment.
