Trifecta Time!!!

Okay so I'm about to order my trifecta tune and before I do I wanted to ask one last question. After reading all the mods in my sig and a full 2.5 exhaust is there any other mods I could do "relatively easily" for some more HP before my tune? I feel like I hit the cap other than internals, and spray n such. After reading alot i feel like the 2.4Tb isent worth the money even with a tune. Open to all opinions....

the DP is pretty good but I know my header is holding me back a bit, everything is just so damn expensive

Three things i can think of off the top of my head before your tune...
1. Port and polish TB
2. LW Pulleys
3. Grounding kit

pullies I looked into, if they cost 40 bucks they'd be worth it...not at 80 a pop. And if anyone knows of some mounts that wont make my car feel like a ***** while im stoped or crusing then id buy em. Can you expand on how to port and polish ? and does that require a tune after doing it?

what about cooling the fuel? or cooling my coolant, things like that?

Correct, you need the combo/both (tranny and engine mount) and you wont have much of an increase in vibs.

I was reading your mods cobalt ls 14 and curious what the HVS grounding kit is, and it there a tranny mount offered for an auto? Also could you explain your port and polish of the TB?

hmm what about an engine dampener?

yeah i will write somethin up for you right now just give me a sec and damper would have the same effect as an engine mount but i personally like the engine mount better....
