Is Trifecta (Cobalt) Dead?

I was just looking at the Trifecta site and it's dramatically different from the last time I looked at it, and the only supported cars I see are Cadillacs. Is that all they tune now?

They're still there. I'm currently running trifecta but I've got knock in high 4th but I actually think it's my fuel injectors that are clogged. My brother has his old one in the garage but it's bad e47 in it and it's been sitting for like 6 months.

If it is only in 4th it is likely real knock. If you had an injector issue it would be an issues in all gears and all RPMs.

I emailed them yesterday and haven't heard back, but that's not surprising since they take forever to respond to anything.

It does happen in all gears but it goes away quickly in 2nd and 3rd. 4th I can see it the whole gear and well, I haven't really gotten into 5th for that long. It's real knock because I can hear it in my exhaust. Atleast I think I hear it in the exhaust.

That is either rich knock (GDI engines can knock if run too rich) or knock due to too much timing either way it is bad for the motor.

If your hearing audible engine knock outside of anything di noise related, you should probablly have that taken care of........ It's kind of interesting that you keep getting on it and driving it like that.

Didn't he just make a thread about how his car isn't running right after the dealer? And now going wot with knock? Heck if I saw any knock I get out of it instantly. Then go ripping into the tune. I don't see if I can make it happen again.
