Trifecta Tune

Just ordered my Trifecta Tune since the Dyno meet didnt materialize. Any other T/C guys getting it? I know the GM Stage kit just came out, is any one holding off because of that?

Im going to Dyno it after, I'll post it up after.

Yes ordered mine Tues. night for the exact same reason. Those dirty roten%^#@#*** who backed out! I also ordered the obd2 to usb cable so I can reflash back to stock if necessary! Can't wait!

If I had the money right now, I would snag the Trifecta also. Lemme know how the turbo lag is adjusted after. Thats really my main concern. Sometimes its hard to keep the turbo spooled while turning.

Practice your heel toe skills! Pedals are set up nicely for it and because of the little bit of lag get on the gas a split second earlier (drive by wire does not give instantanious throttle response) and you'll be happier!

92,93,94 won't make too much of a difference just stay away from 87 89. I didn't ask about the redline, I'll get that and lowered boost levels in 1st & 2nd figured out when I send the data logs back to Vince. Plus because I am getting the cable I'll be able to do lots a things with a laptop!

Yep now if there is anyone you know who orders a tune you can "help them out" or if you want to recoupe some of the cable cost charge them what it would cost to ship back the tuner $20-$40

The cable is $200us (optional) & tune for lnf $250us and just email Vince at trifecta about your specific car. You might even get a reply back from him today!

O.k. Total **** off! I go for a junk food run at about 6pm to our local corner store, this store also doubles as our post office as well. So I also grab my mail and there is a c.o.d. parcel pick-up slip. So I grab my junk food etc go to pay for and get my parcel. I can't get it because the post office is only open until 5pm ITS THE CABLE SO I CAN TUNE MY CAR. The **** off is I had been off work since 3pm. I could have my car tuned right now!!!:cussing :

You'll notice I do not have a hahn intake! If you'de go back to your stock intake problems would dissappear ( tune for the stock intake would likely be needed) Seriously those hahn intakes are giving many people issues, they go back to their stock intakes and they're fine.

haha, the same thing happend to me with the post office.. i was at work, so i get home find the slip, but they are closed.. and its a friday.. so I go saturday morning to pick it up, they were like sorry, it didnt make it in from the truck last night, so I had to wait till today. Picked it up, threw the tune on, did a couple runs for the datalog and will be sending it to vince to see if everything is running as it should. no CELs, no rough buckling nothing that i could feel anyways. Im not driving the thing hard until I get an okay from Vince.

Im keeping up with your thread sherm, **** good luck, Im crossing my fingers everything will be good. Im going to dyno as soon as i get my alignment done and get some cash.

Interesting... this is local thread though but thanks for stopping by.


I've been running trifecta tune (that was done on a dyno) and I can tell you its amazing. In addition to about 30 people in Washington who have had their rides tuned and 4 people locally who have the trifecta tune in the mainland without issue so I'd say were good
