I have heard nothing but good comments about Trifecta. HP tuners does not support our cars at this time, and maybe they never will.

GMPP is pretty much an appearance mod as far as HP goes. if you really want to split hairs you can say it will give a gain of about 3-6 hp but not nearly as much as they advertise.

I am not familiar with the Trifecta tune. is that for a stock car?
if so, yes you can tune a stock car and see some noticeable gains. (you cant really tune for an intake)

Trifecta is the only place you can get the 2.2 tuned. It is NOT a canned tune because it is custom to each car. Its not that expensive, its about $275 plus a deposit for the equipment and shipping. Vince [the tuner man] works with you every step of the way and he is genius There is a great gain in the tune, a local guy here got 31hp from his tune and im sure i got like 10-15hp or something with mine.

it's a 15% discount on the re-tune. and you definitely want to go intake and full exhaust before the tune it'll work wonders.
