Get the tune, it can do much more than just up the transmission hydraulic pressure

what mods do you have to your car.....if you have all the bolt ons....get a tune if not get the shift plus until you have everything to back the tune up

I agree with mrsilent on this one, my appoligies for not asking what you already have done.

bernandovelasquez

yeah, def. get the bolt ons first. when u go to trifecta for the tune the first thing they will ask u is what mods u have to tune your car for.

For the money, shift plus is great. But, if I had the choice and the money, definitely a tune.

By all means if you have MANY mods do the tune it will be worth it.

If you are stock or have an intake and exhaust, you might be better with just the B&M

i have the autotrans interceptor........get the shift plus ull love it

and dont u have to run 92 octane one u get a tune from trifecta?

EvilleCobalt

To see the most power gains yes. You should run a higher octane fuel so he can advance the engine timing for more power.

Tank07

i knew that lol...

i meant does the tune require you to run 92 octane fuel?

EvilleCobalt

Oh sorry, no he can tune for 87 but why spend the money for a tune then? 93 octane here in Indiana is only about 20 cents more and I see better gas mileage after the tune so it makes up for the price difference. And again higher octane to tune with equals more power.

ya if i do tune thats what ill do i was jw if there was an option our 'balts sip fuel anyway lol

the tune is sooooooo much better then the shift plus

if you get the tune, use the high octane for him to tune and then when you run the lower fuel your car will just adjust for it...doesnt work the other way around...

its still worth it...we tuned mels 2.2 auto (stock) and it made all the difference....he tunes the tranny to shift better, gets more power out of the engine quicker, and just overall a better car....we only did it at the time cause he needed to test the auto tune and asked her, otherwise we would have waited till we had some parts on there...tune as few times as possible lol

EvilleCobalt

Yep Vince at Trifecta can tune you to whatever octane you have available. For instance my initial tune was for 91 octane but we have 93 here so Vince squeezed a little more power out of it for me. For the OP sorry we got off topic but Trifecta>shift plus.

I don't know why this is even a poll. It's like saying, would you rather have a cobalt or a corvette.

For the money, cobalts and great. But, cmon, it's still a vette.
