I recently installed a AEM intake and did notice power gain. Why do you not recommended a intake without a tune?

Fuel trims will be off and car will not run as well and could run lean or rich especially if you are in open loop. If you noticed a power gain on an untuned LNF it is all in your head the ECM will pull back boost to keep torque at 260ft/lbs.

Because Trifecta is a joke.

I read some **** on Redline Forums and HPT Forums and self tuned my car better than the shitty Trifecta tune Vince put on my PCM.

Also, go google about Trifecta, shitty service, and wait times.

As far as I am concerned the only option for tuning an SS Cobalt is HP Tuners.
