Trifecta Retune?

I just got a tune about a year ago. Now I'm wanting to add a 2.4 I'm and tb and some comp cams. How do I get retuned? I thought it was cheaper for retuning. The only option I see is the price for a full tune I got before. How do I pay for retuning?

If you click add to cart it will bring up the options you go through when you buy a tune. At the bottom of the page will be a Tune Update button. Click it and select major or minor update and it will give you the correct update price.

Also don't forget to order the ez flash cable again if you didn't keep it from the last tune

They suck. It took me months to get my base file so I could flash their shitty tune off my car. On top of that they didn't even have a black box cable for the LSJ, I had to borrow one from a member on here. How shitty can your company be that you do not even have the tools to transfer the product you sell....

Why do people still buy tunes from them? I do not have an exact count but I have tuned at least 50 LNFs (probably more honestly) that were once trifecta tuned and every single one of them says my tune drives better and pulls smoother and harder and that says something.

I have no idea. I ended up with the Trifecta tune as a favor to my buddy. He had purchased it and put it on his car (my car was OEM GM stage 2). He did a turbo swap and after everything was installed found out HPT couldn't write over Vince's locked Trifecta tune. I gave him my PCM and took the Trifecta one so that he wouldn't have to wait and could tune his car. After I got it is when I realized how bad it was. My car ran better on the GM tune than it did on the Trifecta one and my AFR at WOT was <10 at certain points; it was pathetic. That's when I went hunting to get it off and spent all that time doing so.

Start contacting them now for a retune since it'll take about a year anyway. Maybe the stars will line up for you then.

Took 2 weeks from BNR to get an updated ecp tune and I had to keep bugging them in a polite way(prob because it was free update)

I added more boost to the tune he gave me and it helped. But in no way am I making the power I should be with what he set for timing. I told him to make it a safe tune so that's what I got.

Why do people still use them?

Because for some of us, its the only Option. 2006 L61 car. No support from anyone else, WOT/Trifecta is the only game in town. Its taken 3 weeks of back and forth to get my retune but im happy with it.
