help please? (tunes)

im new to all this and i just had a few questions. i wana start moddin my 09 cobalt but ive been reading alot about tunes. like ive heard trifecta is the best way to go but unless your getting all the mods from hahn to go with their tune. ive also read hptuners and sc do tunes just as good, but like anyone else im tryin to go with the best bang for my buck. i would like to know which tune offers good hp and tq numbers for their price and which will get rid of the "learn-down" thingy the car has. and my mods will be: hahn cai, hahn 3" exhaust, hahn intercooler and piping, and zzp downpipe. so if anyone can tell me which one plays well with them please thatll be great!

HPT has proved over and over again to make the most power... SAFELY!

Trifecta has the switchable (stock to tune with a button), and is dealer friendly.

GM Stage 1 is a warranty safe, tune to pick up a quick 20hp and 30-40 tq.

Choice is up to you... I have been HPTuned (by myself) since 1000 miles now 12,000 and no single issue to report!

warrenty doesnt matter to me, ive been screwed over by the dealership plenty of times and i only got 20k miles on it *tear* but ive heard good things bout trifecta but i also heard you need to keep re-tuning it as you add on mods, as for the HPTune i also heard you need someone that works well with it as for hahn, well its really over priced but does the HPTune get rid of the learn down feature? thats one thing i would like to get rid of lol

No problem... if you don't care about your warranty. HPT is the WAY to go.

Custom tuned, as long as you have a COMPETENT tuner near you!
